1. Totally valid fear and I’m sorry you’re feeling that way. Our brains have a habit of being very cruel to us when it comes to things like this. 2. There are a ton of girls who box. Boxing doesn’t make you masculine, it just makes you more of a badass (and femme badasses are like the best thing ever).

one of the things that made me realize i’m trans is that i could be a woman and still like masculine things as a tomboy. i’m trying to be more myself after all, so no point in pretending like i don’t wanna do certain things

understandable (sadly) fear, but i'd say it may help you to try to join a women's gym or one where there's plenty of other women who're strong
