I’m trans (ftm) and my pronouns are he/they, I dress more feminine and enjoy makeup from time to time Today i was told I’m faking being trans for attention, that I’m not really trans because I like makeup- Can you be a trans guy and still do your makeup?

Yes, and many do. There’s even been several trans men drag queens on Drag Race

That’s so dumb, of course you can. Who ever said that to you has a single digit IQ

100000%. Cis men can do makeup and dress feminine, doesn’t make them any less of a man. You’re just a dude that likes “feminine” things, that’s completely okay. I don’t think there should be “feminine” and “masculine” branded things, it’s all just stuff. It doesn’t matter what gender you are, do what makes you happy🖤🖤

I’ve been told I’m fake trans bcos I’m ftm nonbinary 🤷 ur makeup doesn’t determine ur gender the same way my gender doesn’t determine my genitals

i’m also a he/they trans man who dresses femininely and wears makeup. my two cents? fuck them. wear what makes you feel at home in your own body. makeup and clothes have no gender. in all reality, the people who say you aren’t trans because you don’t “pass” enough for their taste are likely not going to recognize as trans no matter how much you appeal to them. you know who you are, the people who are worth your time know who you are, fuck everyone else and their unwanted opinions.

it isn’t a problem that you still dress femininely as a trans man, those aren’t mutually exclusive. however, there is still the reality that people still make presumptions abt gender at a moments glance; being misgendered while dressing femininely is going to happen.

cis men can do make up, why cant trans men. trans men are allowed to fuck around with presentation, cloths, makeup, and styles just as much as any cis men and to say otherwise is transphobic
