Gender weirdness

Is it weird that even though I'm not a guy and don't want to be a guy, I like it when people think I'm a guy based on my gender expression?

I always find it the word "weird" very 'weird" and the word "normal" very "abnormal". :)

There are no rules about what should makes us feel good or not. And whatever makes us feel good one day can totally make us feel different another. People are not machines programmed to act and react only one way. Emotions are fluid and people are made of emotions. I really think that the things we like or dislike are never "normal" or "weird". They are just what they are, and that's always okay. :)

There's a long history of gender non-conforming women who feel the same way! Not "weird" at all.

I agree with the other responders.

Have you considered getting into the drag king scene? You might find that a fun way to explore/experience this.

Thanks everyone! I think this feeling is probably because I'm genderqueer
