Yet , that ' s the issue . Stereotypes . Expectations . Cultural norms . I just wish men could one day be accepted as sensitive or feminine , without it being feminine , who can be themselves and happy in their own skin instead of feeling like needing to change the body to fit the mind . A woman and a man aren ' t really all that different , yet in our lifetime undoubtedly if you feel different it seems the most viable choice to match the body to the mind to really be what you feel you are and have others treat you like that . I wish I could be a man , I dream of it , my childhood was spent mimicking and molding myself into a man as best I could , among many things I have built in myself the acting tough above all , I find pride in it , I don ' t cry or show weakness , and by living like this I ' ve really came to understand men and the pain it causes and the resulting actions of that pain . more pain . I wish we could fix things , and make men of all kinds feel perfect as they are no matter if they don ' t fit the mold which is kinda crappy and outdated tbh . Regardless I hope you find happiness with yourself no matter how you proceed . That ' s most important .
