    It's not like I want to where make up or have long hair or anything overtly feminine. I don't know what I want, I just know that I hate my life and my existence as a working class male in the American society. I don't want to be a provider, a manager or a business owner. I suck at every thing and I'm a loner with no IRL friends. It seems like my only option in life is how much I want to work on my weekends and off time.

      Yeah, none of that is particularly trans. Really it mostly sounds like general capitalism-caused depression with the added punch of men still being seen as the "provider". Just a gender roles thing that has more to due with society than yourself.

        Yeah unless a wizard could instantly turn me into a girl or someone invited like a 3rd gender neutral state, I'm stuck as male and hating everything about being a man

          See now that sounds trans. Would it be good if the wizard instead magically removed the expectation that being male = "being a man"?

          Personally I'm a cis guy but I am in no way a man and can not at all identify with the term. I think by some people's definitions they might consider me nb, but I just don't see it. I'm still male, just not man.
