This I definitely feel as a man. People wonder I dislike driving cars, why I don't want to go out fishing, and plenty of other "manly" things. As an ace and potentially neurodivergent person, the stereotype of "men are lusty creatures that go after women" is also something that terrifies me. How much distance is correct? What are the non obvious harassment actions? I like to think I balance things good enough and I don't make people uncomfortable, but it is kinda a worry that I might accidentally do something wrong.
Though I do feel like I did something right, since the friends I chose myself (gender irrelevant) don't really make me feel on guard on those things.

@enthusiast101@ieji.de yea I get you. I’m a trans man so I had to learn those boundaries. What was once okay for me to do or say, how close I could comfortably be to a woman without freaking them out all changed when I transitioned. I’m also audhd and socially awkward and an anxiety ball so that just made me more unsure and awkward, but ah well.
