To many right-wing men, issues such as environmentalism are seen as feminine. And I have known two conservative women, both widows, who are more aggressive than their husbands were in life.

One such woman, who pays for subscription TV to watch Australia's equivalent of Tucker Carlson, is like this. Before her husband died, he told her that of their two sons, their elder would be okay, but she'd have to look after her younger one. The elder one has three kids, one of whom is autistic, and she has a boyfriend, and the woman won't allow them around because she believes they're "weird people". The other woman's late husband was closed minded and homophobic, but that didn't extend to his own family. If one of his adult kids or grandkids were LGBTIQA+, he would not have cast them out.

There's nothing wrong with a man who is more feminine or more in touch with his feminine side, and I'm such a man. I don't get on with a lot of males.

As for the issue of whether or not a person is trans by choice, I would say, "Trans people are trans by nature, not nurture, whether or not a person undergoes hormone therapy and surgery is a choice.
