Camp here and there in general saved me from hypermasculinity honestly.
Before listening to chnt, I was extremely insecure about my identity and being perceived as feminine, especially as a trans guy [I now identity as genderfluid, but this still stands] and grew scared of having any feminine interests in fear of being perceived as a girl. I hated the colour pink. I wouldn't wear skirts or dresses, despite really wanting to, because although they didn't make me feel that dysphoric, I was terrified of being perceived as a girl. Having a somewhat high pitched voice whenever I got excited didn't help either, and I ended up constantly sounding the exact same
But after listening to chnt, I ended up relating to Sydney heavily and he became a massive inspiration to me and honestly helped me discover more about myself ^^
The first time I wore a skirt in over 5 years was after listening to chnt and deciding to do a sydney cosplay, and I actually felt secure in myself.
[I also ended up sounding like Sydney whenever I let myself be excited too 🙏 But because I loved Sydney so much, I didn't suppress my joy like I used to]
