Poor social skills

That is me spot on. I have never really had many friiends nor did I care to.

Your feelings about your masculinity being judged when around macho guys is accurate.  They are constantly judging the masculinity of the men around them.  It is an alpha sort of thing.  The best thing to do, is to be yourself.  Once they see your are confident with who you are, they will accept it.  Only the real jerks don't, and you don't want to be friends with them.  It is quite easy to fool guys.  Their brains are simple.  They look to see who is on top, and then try to beat them (if they are alpha).  If they are not alpha, they look to see who is, and then just accept it.  I have worked with alpha males for more than ten years.  It is quite easy to fit in once you pin down who is on top.

Oh right thanks for the tip

We all experience dysphoria at different intensity and we all cope/adapt differently. Some people are more sensitive than others, some are more adaptive. I was in the very adaptive/chameleon/high confidence kinda guy so I fitted in with both guys and girls. I managed to experience typical female interaction and even girl talks as a guy and I was not effeminate at all in fact I was an alpha male. So I wouldn't fit in that theory but it does make sense. I guess I'm more of the exception than the rule.

Seyranna, I am just like you said you were.  I am very good at acting like a guy, and am quite confident.  So, I blend in.  Since I am very much in touch with the true me I have also been able to be involved with the girl talks.

I don't know.
