Stereotypical hobbies/things of your birth gender you love

[Niki Knight]

I still love backcountry skiing and that will never change. Something about being out in the mountains that I just can't shake.

Luv the great outdoors.

[Nina_Ottawa]

I hunt, fish, and backcountry camp solo. This past year saw me solo into the deep woods for 4-5 days at a time...14 trips last year alone.sure, had two encounters with a black bear, but that doesn't stop me.
My hunting and fishing was something my dad and I did when I was young. I only took up those interests last year.

Another one here.  Amateur Extra, President of a 70 member amateur radio club associated with a city fire department, Lead Examiner for our One Day Ham Class program, Instructor for another series of amateur radio license classes, and a traveling lecturer, going to various ham clubs and organizations to give technical presentations, mostly a series on "Physics and Radio" that I've been working on.

You know, an overachiever NERD.    Going for bonus Life Experience points by transitioning in front of everyone.    A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

(My therapist was originally pushing me to get a part-time job while doing the RLE so I would have social contact and not sit around in the apartment being a recluse.  I had to tell her I didn't have TIME for a job. )

I'm an amateur ham, too!  But, so is my Mom.   She is the VP of our ham club.

I do a lot of stereotypical masculine things.  A LOT.  But, we live in the country and just fix stuff ourselves.  HVAC, Septic Tanks/pumps, Tractor repair, Bush Hog repair, car repair, remodeling, etc.  It is just my wife, myself and our 17 year old daughter, so we cross the gender roles often.  My wife and I will usually dub it "Two Girls Plumbing" or "Two Girls Farm Repair", or something like that.

I am an IT girl by trade.  I have done whitehat hacking, I do digital forensics and security auditing, and there are mostly men that I work with.  Once in a while a woman.  But I love that work!

I bake, cook, craft, am the primary housekeeper, grow a large garden every year, rarely dress in masculine clothes (even when hunting), and cry at touching commercials. lol  That is stereotypical girl stuff!

I think the lone hold out "Stereotypical hobbies/things of your birth gender you love" that I will not give up is sex with my wife.

I love baseball. In particular I like to play baseball but am not able to anymore. I am also a Los Angeles Angels fan and have been since their inception in 1961.

funny enough, you would NEVER have heard "girl me" say this, but i love the color pink, pastels, makeup/nail art, shiny/glittery things, and pop music.  i probably refused them so hard because i was the one being expected to wear the makeup and, much as i enjoy how it looks, it's something i prefer to look at on other people (good news for me). 
i also love baking and cake decorating, which is more neutral (also good news for me i guess).

Still love working on the house, also doing a few LV (Low Voltage) jobs on the side. All kind of building / constructing / fixing. I do prefer electrical and carpentry over most of the other things.

Don't like fixing cars much but I still do it before paying $$$ to have a headlight replaced.

Add to that all kind of technology: Computers, networking IT security, home automation.

Now for the new discovered likes: Shopping (especially shoes), makeup and I have doe a fair amount of crafty stuff. I just add new things. Somehow I do not want to give up on all the fun. And hey - who says girls shouldn't touch  welder :-)

I like cats?

[meatwagon]

I like cats?

i've gotten significantly less cat-obsessed since my awkward teenage years, but well... who can resist a warm jellybag that purrs?  certainly not i.

  Well, lets see how bad I am 

I am a qualified Arborist and I love climbing trees still, still love my photography ( excuse the fuzzy pic below  .  I am a sucker for a classic car, none of this silly electronic ignition or ECU's, love motorbikes and would love another.  My best friend got me into drag racing and am currently building my own car 

[Colleen_definitely]

Oh boy where to start?

I love machines and always have.  I joke that they're the only thing that ever really understood me.  I've always been very mechanically inclined, and I can visualize how things work.
I love to build things.  I like to tinker with things, gunsmithing is one thing I've always kind of enjoyed.

But the biggest one that will probably cause the most issues for me is my love of competitive shooting. (USPSA and 3gun)  Not exactly the most inclusive circle when it comes to trans folk, though women are quite warmly welcomed.  So that's on the back burner now while I deal with this.  Will I return to it?  Perhaps, but time will tell. 

I guess the most guy thing that brings me satisfaction is "long" range shooting with a .22 rifle.  I love shooting little plastic toys at about 100-150 meters.  Dinosaurs, little green army men, whatever I find cheap at the store.  It's more interesting than paper, easy to clean up, and quite a challenge.  When I'm on the gun, focusing on the target and about to break the shot nothing else in the universe matters, no social anxiety, no fears, nothing but mental silence and calm.  It's a very zen moment for me and one of the few places where I could escape, even if just for a moment, the mental turmoil that has consumed me for so long.

I still love machines, computers and camping in the outdoors. Oh, and I still love my football :3

[TomTuttle]

Real Housewives. Desperate Housewives. Bridget Jones. Those sorta feminine shows/books/etc
I dunno... Drawing... That's pretty neutral tho
Fangirling...
Maybe some of my music...
This is actually really hard I'm sure there are more

[MeTony]

I was a tomboy. I never did any girlish stuff. I played war, Karate Kid, Rambo, played soccer, hockey.

My granny wanted to buy me a dollhouse when I was 5. My mom said "DON'T". She did anyway. I used it as a garage for my toy cars. Never owned a doll. Well I lied. I had action figures from Star Wars.

[MeTony]

I even build my own bike from parts I found outdoors. It was really cool. Different wheels front and back, chopper lookalike. I was so proud of that bike.

[ainsley]

NCAA Men's March Madness and Bracketology.  I am the only girl in the office that talks college basketball with the boys.  I can't stop loving that sport.  I watch soooo many games during the season, too.  I am a junkie.

[Selena]

That awkward point where I say. "None." I mean, video games and stuff like "Magic: the Gathering" have always been labeled as "boys things" but I don't agree. They are open to anyone who wants to play. Besides that, all I do is read/write and cook/eat. Pretty neutral. I've failed as a man...and I'm OK with that.

I've heard of art and a love of animals being kinda feminine...? It's stupid, but those are two things I like a lot. I'm definitely a cat person. c:
I guess I was never really into "girly" kinda stuff? I used to play with a doll's house in nursery but never with the dolls, my mum said I'd find bugs outside and put them in the doll's house

[amandam]

My hobbies include martial arts, firearms, archery, knife/medieval collecting, and ancient/medieval warfare. Maybe I'm Vera de Milo!

I love dogs equally to cats but most people seem to have a preference, all my female relatives prefer cats to dogs.

[sophie1904]

Watching formula 1, football, rugby (especially when Scotland actually win!), whisky and tech are probably all stereotypically male. Running and cycling I guess are gender neutral.

Lots of hobbies I'm looking forward to on the other side - cooking, beauty therapy, swimming (I struggle with floating, hoping boobies will help!) and lots and lots of cocktails

Saying all of that, travelling will always be my first love when it comes to hobbies and I don't see that changing
