how you identify and how you present are entirely independant from one another, some guys like to present fem and some girls like to present masc and theres nothing strange or wrong about it. if you like being called he and have a safe environment for it, you can definitely experiment with a social transition! its a vulnerable process but experiencing how it feels to be addressed in a particular way can help you figure things out, or even talking to people about experiences with gender

I don’t want to come out as anything unless i’m sure. I don’t know how to figure this out.

If it makes you feel better I’m a dude who uses he/they pronouns and I wear makeup here and there and dress feminine sometimes (gotta restart my skirt collection bc I could fit my old ones after T lol). Still a proud trans man though! It took me a longgggg time to be comfortable with that fact about myself, because I wanted to prove to the world I was “man enough” but you gotta think, some cis men wear makeup/ present fem and still identify as men, so why can’t we?

I had a lot of internalized hatred of manhood/masculinity from my own trauma which prevented me from exploring my identity for a very long time. The gift of queerness is that you get to define who you are and the way you live, you can be reborn at any moment.
