dude, your description mirrors what i've heard from a lot of masculine id'ed folks in my life...that's why i'm really careful how i use gendered language.

i def agree june that feminine doesn't own beauty! at the same time many masculine id'ed folks in my life have balked when i told them they were beautiful because they are used to "beautiful" being a gendered word (to me it is not). i also change the language when i speak it sometimes because i don't want to trigger or offend people.
