"You must be masculine,
but not in the traditional, threatening way.

You must cut your hair,
but only in a fashionable undercut.

You must bind, eventually get top surgery,
but never dream of having a penis.

You must have a common, boring name,
but nothing as common as 'Aiden'.

You must continue wearing makeup,
but nothing too fruity.

You must have a deep voice and stubble,
but don't go on the evil testosterone.

You must still understand cis femininity,
but never again call yourself a lesbian.

You must be silent, submissive, sanitized,
but never claim to be oppressed.

Above all, you must let people treat you as
a woman,
but reap all the benefits of male privilege."
