    I’m a dude, so being fearless in what I want to do without people questioning me has been a boon in life. Sucks others can’t experience that.

    On the other hand, other guys and women assuming I’m an idiot who can barely cook/clean and that my wife handles everything domestic (she doesn’t) is frustrating.

    Nonbinary people I have met don’t though, so that’s nice.

      Traditional gender roles are annoying. I do all the dishes while my wife enjoys mowing the lawn; I’ve had multiple neighbors make jokes about my wife doing the lawn.

        I imagine the crack they make is probably “a real man does the lawn,” and my response to those sorts of cracks is always “a real man doesn’t care what you think.”
