Some of the answers to these questions seem weird (like, is it possible to dislike a bulldozer? I mean it's just a machine...). Anyway, here goes...a dislike means an actual yuck, not the same as "no particular interest" which is meh.

1) Meh
2) Meh (I mean, women do wear pants, and some of them can be cute...)
3) Meh
4) Dislike
5) Meh
6) Dislike
7) Like
8) Like (to a point...I'm not into haute couture, but I like shopping for clothes).
9) Meh
10) Like
11) Meh (I like good action movies, just like I like good movies, but I definitely don't seek out every Marvel/DC movie.)
12) Meh (I like card games and interesting board games if they're in-person and social...not so much into computer games.)

1) Trucks ( also excavators, bulldozers etc. ) They're okay.
2) Pants I like mine to fit so I suppose I pay attention.
3) Dolls ( Barbie, Baby dolls ) I hated dolls until I discovered Asian Pall-Jointed Dolls (BJDs)  They're the only dolls I have.
4) Excessive pink ( Pink walls, pink bed coverings, pink drapes, pink clothes ) No.
5) Fighting ( boxing, wrestling, tae kwon do etc. ) I took Tae Kwan Do in college and a few other martial arts classes, but that's basically it.  I find boxing barbaric.
6) Creepy crawlies ( bugs, rodents, snakes ) I used to collect bugs, salmanders and toads as a kid.  I also had a boa constrictor named Daisy from the time she was a 3 week old hatchling until she was a 9'+/3 meter long adult, as well as iguanas, anoles, and toads.
7) Shoes If they look good and fit me comfortably, I'm good.
8) Fashion Only enough to be able to dress myself relatively modernly.  I don't like looking like a throwback.  ;D
9) Bath time ( bubbles, scented candles etc ) I prefer baths over showers.  I love doing long baths with all the works, including a glass of wine and nice music playing, who wouldn't?
10) Romantic movies ( Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally ) Okay, I admit I liked those movies.  But I don't normally watch that kind of stuff.  RomComs are okay too.
11) Action movies ( Kill Bill, the Avengers ) Love the MCU and Klll Bill!  I'm currently watching the Fast and the Furious movies.  I've been in a action movie kind of mood lately.
12) Tactical / Strategy games ( Chess, Civilization ) Nope, I suck at those.  I'm more an RPGer.  Pokemon and Dungeons and Dragons are more my thing.

I like what I like, they maybe considered traditionally masculine or feminine but that really plays no part in wether I will like it or not. Maybe when I was younger that did.

My 'rents tried to give me a Barbie doll when I was 11.  I took her outside, gave her a mowhawk and melted her arms and legs with a magnifying glass.  :D

1) Trucks. Well I've been through a desert in one. Not that interested in them but who wouldn't want to drive a monster truck just once.
2) Pants. Obv.
3) Dolls. Not interested in them per se, but I do make them for people.
4) Pink. Not a colour I particularly like. It annoys me. Maybe because I think it's a colour that's been contrived to be "for women". Originally it wasn't. That it's suddenly this colour for women is just bizarre. Also I'm not a fan of it. It does not feel like a relaxing colour to me, unlike blue.
5) Fighting. I wouldn't say I was obsessed about it but I do know some martial arts; and although I am too old now, had I the body for it I wouldn't have minded being involved in competitive sports of that type.
6) Bugs. I have a biology degree. Suppose I must find stuff like that interesting.
7) Shoes. I have a lot of of shoes, but all for functional purposes, hiking, diving, running, sports, casual, formal, etc.
8 ) Fashion. Not really. I'm not interested in following other people's lead there, just wear whatever I feel like. About the most fashionable I could be is wearing a suit, and the good thing about suits is they generally do not go out of style.
9) Bath. I love baths. Too bad I don't have a tub in this flat. They should be mandatory in rented accommodation if you ask me, like they are in Japan.
10) Romantic movies. Nah. I have movies with romance in them, which is fine, but the sappy, overly sentimental ones that are just about romance alone and little else don't really hold much interest. If it's a drama with a couple in it, sure. But movies just about people hooking up? No. I like me some tragic love stories. That's closer to stuff I can identify with.
11) Action movies. I have a lot of them but if it's just about large GCI explosions I'm bored. I have to connect with the characters or the situation in some way. John Wick bored me to death, but Die Hard 1 is great.
12) Tactical strategy games. Yeah, I guess. Not wild about them but I can play chess and I used to play Age of Empires, Total War, etc. games.

Not very stereotypical I guess.

Trucks;  now just for utility but in a previous persona, an attempt to feel like a guy
Pants; Wouldn't wear em for months during my early transition but now I like mine tight
Dolls; Didn't need them as a kid when there were nine baby siblings.  I love real babies! 
E Pink; Meh, shades of purple and magenta maybe
Fighting, Intensely dislike but confess to brief excitement when others are so engaged
Creepin Crawlers; Ick don't wana touch em fur sure
Shoes; Love my colorful new shoes that finally fit who i am
Fashion; Wonderful to have found my own even as it meant a much delayed emergence
Bath time; Still too busy and mostly shower but a soak in the hot tub is wonderful
Romantic movies; Sometimes, but I prefer to read and a good story will often have some element of romance
Action movies; Typically too much uber male toxicity but I have felt better about female kick asses
Games; Fostering personal competition can sharpen strategic skills but to what ends? 

And then, what gender stereotypes are we responding to?  Might different cultures and communities have a different list?
