Im not completely masculine but am on the feminime side too. I tweeze my eyebrows and put make up on my eyes. I take T cream. After i get facial hair etc. im going to dress not too girly but like a gay male dresses. I wanted to now if there are any transguys out there like me. I dress both ways but not too feminime. So if there are any out there like that please feel free to tell me. I act more feminime than masculine and i like more men than women.

Yes there are plenty of feminine guys out there. You're not alone.

I am kinda feminine, sometimes I act girly.. like *squee* at hot guys, etc.. be scared of some bugs and run from them.

Appearance wise.. i wear makeup sometimes, but its punk stuff

I say if a bio guy can do it, then so can we.  If you are fem, thats cool! it doesnt make you less trans

Nope, not alone! I'm fairly feminine for a guy also. I'll be much happier when I'm actually seen as a fem guy instead of a chick though!

there's nothing wrong with a feminine guy.

I'm waiting for my T to kick in and make some changes... my nail varnish, and eye make-up are there on the ready! lol And i do intend to grow my hair. I just don't now because passing is important to me.

But yeah, i still enjoy my bubble baths and ugly betty lol

I still retain some fem type traits. I figure it's normal for a guy raised as a girl. There is a huge spectrum of male expression, some of which is considered feminine. I think most guys do 'fem' in a distinctly male way sort of like the mirror opposite of 'butch' for women. Butch is a uniquely female expression of masculinity. So yes, transguys are as varied as the biomale population, so it's makes more sense than not that some transguys are fem.

Yes there's plenty of us.  I am not a feminine guy as such but I have very gay tendencies (and am gay lol).  I love fashion and dress as well as I can.  I reckon, like others have said, that I will be more free with my expression once I pass 100% as a guy, because right now anything too feminine I wear and I'll just look even more like a girl than usual 

Even when I was feminine I wasn't feminine!  LOL

Though for some reason I still like Oprah and reading some other women's magazines (though never the makeup, beauty, and hair sections, LOL).

I'm a man concerned with aesthetics and personal grooming, and those things can be considered feminine, though I prefer to think of them as 'dashing' or 'dandy', haha! And I love getting all cozy and superfluous with a girlfriend, (like, oh my god!) for fun, but in the meantime I also have my stints where I act/feel more hypermasculine. Someone mentioned earlier that 'butch' is a way of expressing masculinity that is unique to female bodied people- being genetically female, then, I think it's appropriate to say that yes, I come in varying shades of 'butch', 'femme', and 'andro', just like other man or woman, and being trans may mean that these expressions are even more spread out, as 'manly female' and 'feminine male' is a line that becomes blurred, medically and emotionally- for me, and probably some other transpeople, too.

I get pegged as gay all the time. I dress gay, talk gay, sing gay. But I'm actually bi. So, of course, the women swarm me like flies. Go figure.

Yup.  I was put into dance classes when I was 3 years old, and studied ballet until i was 16.   13 years of enforced gracefullness doesn't go away easily, so I'm sure the way I walk comes across as pretty feminine sometimes. I also work in a call center for a catalog company and I've noticed that my voice and speech patterns get very feminine sometimes.  I was talking to a grandmother the other day and I think my voice went up an octave or 2 over the course of the call, with the guy who was ordering for his girlfriend while driving a fork lift however, the redneck farm kid accent came out a little more and my voice stayed lower.  (sorry, going off topic...)

I also have some very masculine traits though. Like getting into burping contests at the bar. And I'm on the set construction/ back stage crew for an upcomming musical. Powertools are fun.

I identify as genderqueer and FTM though, so it's just complicated all around.

I actually think you'd get MORE variation of gender expression in a transguy population than in a biomale population. The ways bioguys are brought up are still quite rigid and don't usually allow much room for gender expression. Transguys, however, were actually strongly encouraged (in general) from childhood to try things that were more feminine. Discovering your transness involves a very deep exploration of who you are and how you naturally act and feel, so if you liked some of those stereotypically feminine things that becomes part of your personality and therefore more transguys end up with feminine traits/likes and dislikes than biomales.
Just a theory. And obviously this isn't a blanket coverage of all transguys.

Yep yep. Allowed to really try some feminine things, I'm sure more bioguys would come to like at least part of it. Gender roles are rather restrictive.

I wouldn't worry about the speech too much man. I did for many years after wondering why all girls pegged me as gay until one girl mentioned once it's the way you talk... >_>

Until i actually met a guy, not sure if he's bi, but he's been in a very serious relationship with a girl for some years now and even has a kid. He got on my bus the other day and we were talking and i noticed his speech pattern is very similar to mine. He speeks proper, doesn't slur any of his words and actually sounds a tad posh. So even bio males have that varied-ness.
