    What defines someone as masculine in the US is not 1:1 with the concept of masculinity in China, or France, or Kenya, for instance. On top of that, one’s personal understanding of masculinity and femininity likely differs slightly (or greatly) from the general standards of the society around them.

    For that I’d say this applies to the country in question
    Just not across borders.

      That’s still assuming gender norms are consistent even within a given country, though. E.g. masculinity among Asian Americans is often seen as “lesser than” compared to white Americans by virtue of racial physiology alone. The concept of having a full beard is masculine, but if you’re unable to grow a full beard, does that make your gender presentation inherently less masculine than someone who can?

      Everything is subjective, with “norms” only illustrating a loose general trend that is very inconsistent and changes over time, to the point that I think it’s a useless comparison. If a man chooses to dress and act femme but insists they’re a man and are happy having a penis, just trust them. No need to try to arbitrarily place them on a gradient of “partially trans in denial” if that’s not how they identify.
