Is it normal my girlfriend tries to convince me i'm transgender?

My current girlfriend is bi, which I'm okay with, but she's the first person I've ever really been close to who isn't straight, so maybe I'm just not handling things right. I'm a guy, and always considered myself to be and look masculine, so I'm comfortable doing things that might be feminine. I let my girlfriend try makeup on me because she was pretty persistent and I'm still sorta trying to impress her and do whatever she wants. She kept saying how much better I looked and how she liked me better this way which I kinda shrugged off because the whole thing was a joke to me anyway.

She's been taking a lot of jabs at my masculinity, then when I say something about it she just tells me that "Masculinity is so fragile" so I just leave it alone. She's got some weird fetishes I try to go along with but I'm apparently really "Vanilla"

I'm really laid back, so this all doesn't bother me too much, and I have no energy for arguments or confrontations. I've never really worried about my masculinity till now, and she tells me I show a lot of symptoms of being transgendered, which I never even knew a lot about until recently.

Is it normal for my girlfriend to hint at me being transgendered and want me to be feminine so much?

    Dude..., plain and simple, she's not the girl for you. I get that she's the first person you became close with and all that, but she's making you doubt yourself and feel self-cousious.

    In the end, she wants a girlfriend, but instead of finding one, she rather break your confidence and try to mold you into something you're not. You need to find someone who will actually love and accept you.

    Not normal at all, your girlfriend is manipulating you and this sounds like the start of a toxic relationship.

    Ugh, OK so I have nothing helpful to say but you deserve better. She is going to persist, I mean I am no psychic, I should really just keep my mouth shut, but you deserve better.

    Your gender expression, and identity are things you have agency over, your masculinity is not fragile. She is being rude disrespectful and invasive.

    That's not how you treat other people. Not saying she's a bad person, but this behavior needs to stop. Unfortunately you being a guy, and seemingly not of such a social justice ilk as she, or really just being a guy, your words will probably mean nothing to her.

    That is unfair because she is discrediting your feelings because of your gender, while also telling you you're something, which it sounds like you are not.

    I could only imagine if you WERE transgender and how totally cruel this would be a way to treat someone. I really don't know what to say. The world is weird. Tell her to cut it out, and see where that goes? Idk I shouldn't have posted anything.

    She probably really loves you but wants a trans partner so now she's being fucking weird.
    If it actually bothers you then, the next time she brings it up, just deny it but be chill and then just continue to say no and stop doing the feminine shit until she gets annoyed you're not doing the feminine shit and when she asks why you're not doing feminine shit tell her you don't like being accused of being transgender and that it's not as if you call her out on being Bi (though maybe she might get mad at the latter part).
    Then when she says sorry go back to normal.
    Or be like "Look, I ain't trans, STFU."
    Then go in for an RKO.

    I am bisexual and have always been, You gotta get game if you are banging SJW rainbow chasing bi girls. All the hot bi girls are sticking with us now and all the bisexual men who are also hot. She sees like a fag hag too. Most of us switch hitters in my demographic, basically the exception to many of your rules because we didn't get faggotized.

    Now I( was goth/punk and rocked the Ziggy Stardust for a period but this was back when bi people were hot enough to be told we were the exception to your rules but we couldn't stand straight women or gay men. But we were violent when needed and it often was and had a different association with Satanism and murder, orgies, drugs and violence.

    So we were classified differently and it was understood we were both gay and straight at once. O can't understand how bisexuals fit into the model of being less than one group or having traits of both. Those bi women are miserable. They don't love themselves which is why they project this crap on to you.

    There's nothing wrong with being trans but if your not then you're not she has to respect that. If she can't tell her how you feel and if she ignores you maybe you should break up.

    Maybe just like really respectfully communicate to her how x and x behavior makes you feel. Without being angry just like, you know let her know when you do x it makes you feel x. And let her know that you care about her, by saying like you know she isn't doing it to hurt you. Because she isn't, its complicated and not worth getting into the why. But if she is an understanding person, hopefully some solid communication will go a long way, and you two can move on and continue with the good stuff.
