According to this comment I would consider myself a gender rebel then. I broke out of the narrow "man box" without transing again. Yes, I have long and well-groomed hair. I shave and wax, I'm basically hairless. I dress more fancy and feminine. Most men's clothing is boring anyway. My behavior and mannerisms are considered womanly. I see nothing wrong with this.

I'm still homosexual and I still have my feminine qualities and I embrace them.
Of course I (we?) can't change societal view on gender norms and culture from today to tomorrow, but I can break out of them and live my best life possible. I and my future partner need to feel comfortable and whole, not everyone else around me/us.
