I don't actively model my own gender on any particular gender in any particular society, past or present. I can be aware of gender diversity without imitating someone else's gender. I am a transgender man who is legally married to a cisgender man. Looks like you're saying I "invent" my "new" gender while also saying I "model" my gender on an existing one, which seems contradictory. Also, my gender as I live it post-transition—my husband and I both have beards, and are seen as men by others, and are legally men, and have an M/M same-sex marriage certificate—does not enable us to bypass anti-gay norms. I can't make any sense of what that means, and since it is your allegation, I don't feel responsible for trying to make sense of that, taking on the burden of proof, or otherwise workshopping your argument for you. Transitioning from woman to man didn't make me less of a gay man. What Eastern culture am I fetishizing? I live in South America.
