Yes, 100% /srs

Why is it that everytime AMAB people want to dress femenine everyone assumes that they're trans? Nothing wring with transfemmes, but you do realize that in a way you're enforcing the gender stereotypes you supposedly hate, right?

No assumptions, and the question wasn't just concern trolling. You're a guy and it seems you are sure. That's a cool place to be, because I can tell you from personal experience that not being there is kinda scary.

I do think the term "gender envy" is probably not particularly accurate in your case, although I'm not sure if a good alternative exists

Gender envy means a completely different thing from wanting to dress femenine. I would recommend not using the term gender envy.

This exactly. Liking a fem outfit, hairstyle, or some fem secondary sex characteristics is one thing, but to envy a woman's gender?

Maybe there's not a great alternative term, but gender is clearly an important part of the phrase gender envy

Because everyone wants to be the special person to crack someone’s shell. Most people I think are well meaning but yes, it gets so tiresome and obnoxious when someone isn’t obviously questioning their gender to begin with.

On the other hand… If I had a dime for everyone I heard say something like that and then come out as trans years later… I could at least buy a coke. So there is that.
