Why would they want to be called, ‘boy’, ‘male’, etc then?
Comment on These dames wanting inclusivity

It happened to me. Being a boy never bothered me, but as I got older becoming a “man” made me dysphoric.
So I became a woman instead.

Fair enough. For me, any gendered language makes me dysphoric when I am not that gender. But of course gender is a very individual and personal thing.

Nah, I identify as male. It’s just that the visual of a “man” for me is an older bearded dude with a deep voice… which I’m not…

I am actually speaking from experience here. Never had a problem with other male identifiers, but something about “man” squicked me out. It always felt like becoming a man was something far off, and I kept getting older and it never happened…
Now I’m on hormones and am a woman and things are fine. Not saying this is your situation, but it was mine.
