Biology, not stereotypes, makes the man
Several detransitioned men stress that “man” is simply the adult form of a human who produces sperm. One of them, keycoinandcandle, lists famous feminine or androgynous musicians and reminds himself, “Just because you’re a man doesn’t mean you can’t be a feminine or androgynous one.” source [citation:e55a73c6-07e8-4310-8494-f2806a52fb02]

Masculinity is optional
Tadpole_Plyrr2, a detrans male who once believed he had to be “macho,” now writes, “There is no incorrect way to be a man, you just are one… you can wear whatever you want to and still be a man.” source [citation:07c8f53e-493a-426f-8caa-bb36d4aa8305] DraftCurrent4706 adds that polo shirts and Rolexes are hardly required: plenty of men live happily without them. source [citation:7e8fa2f5-b6e1-4d35-9de4-34ae63fe1ec2]

Feminine men are still men
SaraHunt78, detrans and happily feminine, says, “I plan on fully staying feminine. Because that’s what I’ve always been, a feminine man.” source [citation:03155fe9-492a-4dcf-b80f-02430615a8f7] cagedbunny83—who works part-time as a nurse, sews, and dances—agrees: none of those hobbies cancel his manhood. source [citation:bcb78f71-63a1-4a9c-9e93-afe591b15631]

“Never masculine” is normal
Specific-Writing-287, a detrans female, reassures anxious men: “You’re a man who has never felt masculine, and that’s okay, it’s fine, normal… Those are human traits, not sexed traits.” source [citation:906938fd-a023-44ff-baee-4dbab97f46c8]

Conclusion
Everyday experience from detrans men shows that maleness is fixed at birth, while masculinity is a social script you can accept, rewrite, or ignore. Shy, skirt-wearing, nurturing, or glitter-loving males are already real men; no medical steps or masculine performances are required to claim that truth.
