Bruh i feel like there's something actually special to be considered one of the girls but still a guy y'know?
I've had plenty of female friends growing up, but for a while, I felt more comfortable with males. Fast forward past me realizing that being trans existed and i could just be a guy and neither at the same time, i still had some of the same female friends for a while
It took some time, but i learned, thanks to my male friends with female friends, that being one of the girls didn't make me less of a guy
I learned more about being a girl after I figured out that I wasn't one, and honestly, it's really funny how I interact with my friends because of it
So first off, I'm an older sibling type of person. I'm very protective of people in general, especially if I know you and you're on my good side. Second, the way I joke around with my female vs my male vs my other friends is very different.
No kidding, I was on call with some friends one time, and I don't remember exactly what he said, but it led to the girl in the group telling her little sister to tell me she loves me (my friend loves to glaze people ngl). Obviously, I reply that I love her too, normal behavior for us, and the guy friend who had said something before repeated what I said (being funny, the three of them have known each other for a while), and I immediately just call his name and tell him to shut up.
I'm still protective of the guy, but I'm a lot meaner to him compared to my girl friends. My other friends just get hit with either any mood I'm in, or whichever interaction suits them better.
I'm assuming I'm not the only one, but i feel like I didn't let myself be like this until i truly started accepting myself
