First consider two different gender variant mindsets.
One blends feminine expression seamlessly and permanently into daily life. It may be jewelry, makeup, androgynous clothing, etc. The other creates a temporary personna that contains all of the need for expression and is then left behind once the appetite or interest is satiated. This latter archetype can include both gay and straight males with the precise motivation and frequency varying between each person.
What is common in both is that they feel comfortable identifying as male and don't have a disconnect with birth sex (or it is at least mild enough to not perturb their daily existence).
However, both contrast against gender dysphoric people who do have a birth sex disconnect. Some of them may have been forced into the split charcter lifestyle primarily due to life circumstance and choices made. However they still need to find a formula (which may not work entirely to their satisfaction) to battle dysphoria which we know varies in intensity from person to person. In all cases the attachment to maleness here varies from much less resolute to entirely zero.
Since the practice of gender variance in secret is starting to slowly disappear over time, I am curious about how the proportions of typologies will change over time and whether some survive at all.
Of course, it goes without saying that typologies can and will bleed into each other with the aim to always be of free of distress and as peaceful as possible.
