Haha, belly bump isn't even possible for dudes unless you got a beer belly.

That is so not true. It's just not possible to be NONSEXUAL unless you have a beer belly.

I have old habits I need to break too...I'm gay so maybe it's not a big deal. I'm not a hugging person...I usually stay away from body contact like that. I'm not trying to pass as sterotypical male anyways..I have femenine traits that I like so I'll probably be just seen as a gay guy..lol

I don't really understand why certain behaviours are perceived as typically male and others typically female.  Behaviour is not genetically predisposed after all.  No behaviours are exclusive to males or females.
I have never really looked at life or people in this manner, even before I came out as a trans guy and I certainly shall not be modifying my behaviour to fit in with what I see as idiotic gender stereotypes.

Yeh, don't really understand why myself.  But society seems to think in black and white, or male and female on every thing.  Hope that things can change in time.  May never get ride of terms masculine/feminine entirely but hope that society can come to not care which and were in between you are. 

Civilization seems to need a name for every thing and a definition for everything, so the words may not disappear but hope the stereotypes will
Every day we pass people, do we see them or the mask they wear?
If you live under a mask long enough, does it eventually break or wear down?  Does it become part you?  Maybe alone, they are truly themselves?  Or maybe they have forgotten or buried themselves so long, they forget they are not a mask?

Egads, man.

1) When you're on testosterone, your vocal chords will stretch. You won't even be CAPABLE of saying "eek" anymore.

2) There actually are appropriate channels for males to express affection to one another. You will adjust. It's like learning a new language. It's hard to teach in a class, but it comes naturally if you're around it all the time.

3) Here is a little known secret. It's something that you only really come to realize after a few years of experience, but your parents have probably told it to you since you were a toddler. If you were like most children, you probably didn't believe them, but it just happens to be a fact. No matter who you are or where you come from or what you stand for, people will respect you if you bear yourself with self-confidence and express yourself in a manner that suggests self-respect. Iron your clothes, keep yourself well-groomed, stand up straight and tall, and enunciate your words. It's pretty straightforward.
