I think I know what you're talking about. Everyone pretends they don't exist, but there are still gender based roles in society. Most women do cook. Most men don't cry in public. Shit like that.
People love stereotypes, because it gives them something to be familiar and comfortable with. So when they meet someone who isn't a stereotype, like a man who loves to cuddle or a female bodybuilder, the small minded will react poorly.
I'm sorry, but I don't really have much advice besides that you try to make lots of friends with girls. Even if you act somewhat girly, they're girly all the time and it shouldn't seem super weird to them. That's just a guess on my part, though.
And I just noticed you wrote this almost a year ago. Damn. Well, I hope someone finds this comforting, at least.
Is it normal wanting to be of the opposite sex?
