I am a female with autism. Something that I have felt most of my life is that I feel more masculine than feminine in my inner self however outwardly I definitely look feminine such as makeup and I do my hair etc but inwardly I feel and see myself as more of a male. Has anyone experienced this?
Yes and I've started presenting masculine by wearing men's clothes, hairstyle, glasses, etc. I've even started dying my facial hair dark to try to make it more noticeable. I still get interpreted as female 99% of the time but I've found people make fewer heteronormative assumptions about me and I get bothered a lot less by men in the street
