This is a weird tangent. I hope it will make sense.

I am quite old. At least by internet standards. Needless to say the times, they were different.
Anything unmanly was shunned as gay and being a wuss and a pansy.
There are many things I would have liked to do, but didn't because I didn't want to be ridiculed.
For example:
I liked MLP (G1) but never asked for a toy for my birthday.
I liked knitting, but once the trial session was over I went to crafts. I didn't hate crafts but I'd have liked to switch from time to time.
And what you learn as a child influences what kind of an adult you grow up to be.
Once I was an adult, I ironically mostly consumed lesbian porn. Because having a man in the porn would mean seeing a penis and balls and that would be gay, even if he was doing a woman.
When I started drawing I also mostly drew females, because drawing men was "gay". Especially once I tried drawing NSFW. Really got into fisting, because I did enjoy the penetrative aspect of porn, but had no penis stand in.
But over the years I mellowed out. Furry twink porn helped me get over the hump, as my love for animal people was bigger than the fear of "gay".
And then I got used to it. I saw gay was just... normal and hawt.

Now I was on my way to become a dick loving furry. But I then came into contact with something else. Transitioning.
I was reading the comic "Unicorn Jelly" at the time and loving it. When I looked up the author I found out about her transition from man to woman. This was the first time I had ever encountered the idea of transitioning. I found it a bit weird, but didn't think much about it after. Didn't really matter for the comic I was a fan of.
Next author of "Dandy and Company" also transitioned. Again I was like "Weird, why would you do that? Sounds like a whole lot of work." and again I forgot about it soon after.
Then Jim Fucking Sterlingson became James Stephanie Sterling. And you know? I didn't find it weird. Sure it took a while to get used to the new look, but now I can't even remember how Jim looked. I had to look for an early video.
I got used to it.

Not sure where to go from here, but these thoughts have been in my head for a while. Wanted to write them down for a while, but didn't cause it felt unfinished... lacking a nice oompf at the end. I guess you have to go oompfless.
Or how about this: Don't hate on how people want to live.
