I Think Men Should Act Like Men

There is this colleague at the workplace who annoys me to no end - a young chap who looks for loopholes all the time in other people's work. Instead of being straightforward and telling it as it is like a real man, he hides behind fake smileys and nervous laughs when I tell him the way I see it. Come on, just say it like a man. Let it off your chest once and for all. I can take it. What I cannot take is the sneaky way he pokes. Not honourable at all. Seriously, a man should act like a man.

Funny that. I am Transwoman and I'm painfully straight forward especially in how I express myself. I'm not even trying to be a man and it seems I'm doing a better job than whoever you're describing.

@BetweenKittensandRiots Maybe he thinks he is the Sensitive New Age Man. I see such a person as a weakling, a coward. Sorry I'm so judgmental, but one such character is enough to spoil your whole day at work.
@novembermoon I AM Sensitive but there's no need to be indirect...

@novembermoon Gender isn't really a clean thing like people conceptualize. I'm not sure I even should Identify as T instead of nonbinary. People don't fit in rigid boxes. I've got SOME masculine traits and a whole lot of feminine ones.

Case in point one of the things I DO that is masculine is I'm assertive.

On the feminine side I'm submissive, Nurturing and emotional...
