Also, the fact that you're not Real Men is a very very good thing.  Because, at the end of the day, there really is no such thing as "Real Men" or "Real Women" or even "Woman" or "Man" or even "Male" or "Female" as they are assinine outdated terms that resolve to incoherency everytime they are used: Male/Female in particular being both biologically and socially constructed, NOT one or the other as most reading this tend to believe.  Now, so do Femmme, Androgynous, Butch, and Genderqueer, but they're far less problematic and far more coherent culturally.

People that think in terms of "Real Men" and "Real Women" too heavily are, if you've noticed, for awhile now, not been people I want society with.  "Real Men" and "Real Women" is a fiction, as is Man and Woman, and ultimately Male and Female are partial fictions due to how they are partially socially constructed.  People that get caught up in those labels are not worth the waste of my time as a soft and hard femme autistic woman.  I'm going to keep repeating this until you get that...

If I say you're not a real man, it's usually an insult because you value real man so much, if you say I'm not a real woman, I usually just shrug, because I don't think there ARE real women or real men, or even men and women, nor do I think Male/Female is anything but laughably incoherent just for cis people, but you can keep telling yourself it's not and that male/female is either wholly biological (MRA and TERF position, as well as some SJW and anti-SJW) or wholly socially constructed and interchangeable (Rad Fem Third and Fourth Wave position) and I will tell you both things are assinine.  There is an historical oppression of people who have uteruses or are expected to have uteruses and do not have them, I am very well aware of this, this doesn't make these terms any less assinine, and NOR do I think they're wholly interchangeable either.  I think they're outdated, badly so even.  Where you perceive sexual dimorphism in most species I perceive a black to white Gamma scale slider as found in most PC Games (with no "true black" or "true white"), that's how I think about ALL species, including homo-sapiens..
