If you're born male and reach adulthood, congratulations you're a man.

What if you're born male, decide around 11 or 12 that you really like wearing dresses and putting stuff in your ass, get injected with puberty blocking hormones all through adolescence, and pay a surgeon to mutilate your dick so you don't have that pesky bulge in your lacy thong? That's certainly not a woman, but it seems inaccurate to call a dickless troon a "man."

It’s a boy larping as an anime girl.

If the individual in your example is still 11 or 12, they are a boy. All adult human males are men, regardless of their appearance, behaviour, or beliefs. Women who undergo hysterectomies or double mastectomies for cancer treatment don't stop being women, even if they wear trousers and have short hair.

To be a man, one must be mentally strong. This doesn't mean never cry at anything or big a pig headed dick who insists you are always right, it means knowing when to cry and admitting when you are wrong. You need to control yourself, be a leader when you are called to and be a follower when you need to. You need to contribute to the betterment of those around you. Weather it be your family, your extended family, your neighborhood, your town, and all the way up to the state. A man should also be well read. Not just as a utility, altho knowing how to maintain your home is an important thing, but you also need to know about the world around you. Being decent to the people around you is also important. Other than that, being a man means different things for different people. Some people are more suited to devoting their entire life to science, some are better as family men, and some may be destine to being a plumber. Just be a decent, productive member of society. Aim to be a net positive in the world

Perhaps the distinction we're looking for is that troons aren't REAL men. Yes, biologically they qualify for the most literal definition of "man," but they aren't the slightest bit masculine, except maybe the repulsive body hair that gives away their true gender. Kind of like a woman with butchered tits and a moustache is technically a woman, just not a real woman. So, troons are technically men, just not real men, because they make no attempt whatsoever to look or act more masculine. Sound about right?

I disagree, they are 100% real men. A woman with facial hair due to PCOS and a double mastectomy after breast cancer isn't less of a woman either.

If you wanted a definition of what it means to be a 'masculine' man, then ask for one.

Personally, I don't define men and women based on how 'masculine' or 'feminine' they are. You don't need to tick off stereotypes for your sex in order to be a decent person with good character. Both sexes have elements of masculinity or femininity within their personality.
Many troons are very masculine in their language and attitude towards sex and violence, does that mean they're more of a man than a celibate male pacifist?

The OP said to interpret the question however you want. Both are acceptable interpretations of that question. Also, yes, I think a violent muscular troon is still slightly manlier than a celibate male pacifist.

Being a man revolves around a feminine strategy that is conducive to civilization and an ultra masculine strategy which is parasitic to this strategy. Essentially you need to decide weather you need to defend one female or weather you need to move around. In essence you are deciding if you want to be at war with the world or at war with yourself.

It was @Revo who started all of this. I asked him a question and he told me no. Not only that but his friends started suggesting that I open my profile. More anymore of them arrived and and I told them to go fuck themselves. I don't know whattodo given these instances. I would like you to tell me. Fuck them and fuck anyone else who favors them. What is going on?​

So according to you: telling users like you to lurk more = telling "no"
My fucking sides.

It's ineffective PR is what it is. I'm not giving you mother fuckers any more than you need to understand me. I'm not looking at you. I'd like you to extend the same courtesy. Please lets keep this a verbal game at the very least.
I'd add acceptance, understanding and intelligence to this list but I'm just not going to be able to supply these all the time. You already know that I can be dumb as hell. Be gentile, my anus is untested...
