There's a lot of advice floating around about how to pass as a man. And a lot of it amounts to "wear drab colors, be less expressive, be harder and more withdrawn."
Indeed, that is deeply depressing. I think I have spent a lot of my life looking for a male role model (my dad being absent through no fault of his own) and I settled on Mr Spock! And then Spike! Weird polar opposites. (Not that I am transitioning or anything like that, but I have never felt especially happy to be a woman.)
