I borrowed this idea from Ada, who made a great post on c/MTF about this. The discussion was very interesting and I wanted to bring it to a wider range of perspectives across the spectrum.

Same boat as you pretty much. Had our son about 2 years ago and really started thinking “if I were to teach him how to be a man, what would that entail?” I couldn’t really think of anything that was a quality exclusive to men. In terms of masculinity and femininity, I think there are physical traits that I would classify as closer to one or the other, but I think the distinction from a personality standpoint is useless as a way to classify other people. At the end of the day, I’d rather teach him to be an empathetic and kind person as opposed to teaching him to be a man.
