Why do some MTF's act like gay men?

Kia Ora Mahsa,

How do gay men act ? Now this should be interesting..................

Like any other men. Gay men come in all shapes and sizes. My ex's act like hetero jocks. Some of them act flamboyant and femmie, others are just your gay brother.

However, the gay stereotype is present and thinks all gay men act like Will & Grace characters. Many men fall into this stereotype, which is passed on to many of the transgirls.

But gay men are as varied as the spring flower.

Kia Ora Mahsa,

So back to the original question... A M2F who winds down the car window and yells at guys is in a sense no different to an 'heterosexual' male out 'cruising' who winds down the wind of the car and yells/wolf whistles at girls...Where does the acting 'gay' come into it ?

I know many gay people and have never come across a 'gay' person who would do this kind of thing, but have seem many hetero males acting this way ....Perhaps gay Americans act differently to the somewhat more conservative cultured gays in NZ...Who really knows ?

some MTF's may have a sense of pride in their femininity, so they act like gay men, but that's usually just a phase and at some point they learn to just tone it down and become more natural. people do things in their life that may seem stupid or ridiculous, but it's part of growing. i think i answered once before, but that's what the thread is about, so someone had to be the one to seal the deal, even though i'll probably get ignored.

I know mine calmed down drastically in the past year. Even when we met gay men in the Castro... I was like, "Nope, don't care"

Granted (and happily too I might add) there are people who go out and buy the stereotype hook, line and sinker.  And of course, there are a few people who hit a perfect 100 on the stereotype charts every-time because the stereotype was modeled after them.  But for each little gay boy in the Castro who's looking like a lumberjack who's never been out in the woods while listening to dance music, there is a 250 pound bear on a Harley pounding beers, belching loudly and cranking AC/DC.  And there are ones who don't fit (nor do they want to) any of that.  Gay men have won Olympic medals, Superbowl rings and all that too.  Others are doing the yuppie/puppie/preppy corporate-whore 9to5 in their own attempt to become the 1%.  While I know a few people who fit the type, most I know do not.

I was a kink twink.

I liked putting on my nicest little sun dress (pink or yellow) and heading down to the old beer busts at The Eagle.  It was fun to be the token girl, and besides I could kick all their asses at pool.
