Hypermasculinity

I've noticed a lot of aspies are gender fluid, but I haven't heard of many who are hyper-masculine, or hyper-feminine. The funny thing is, as I've gotten older I have aspired to be more masculine and it just became a gradual process. I don't mean hyper-masculine as in not crying, or being too proud to ask for directions, or such none sense. I mean hyper-masculine as in aspiring to build strength, physical and mental toughness. To build a strong assertive character. To be well grounded. Even most of my idols are very masculine. For example, one of my biggest idols is JFK. Although JFK was by no means a very physically strong guy, he had a very strong masculine character.
 
I think that Aspies tend to be somewhat androgynous or have a mixture of masculine and feminine traits. I've never known an Aspie who was extremely masculine, or extremely feminine, and I've known a lot of Aspies.

This is particularly interesting, given that in regards to most things, Aspies seem to be at one extreme or the other.

Thank you for starting this thread, because otherwise I might not have reflected upon and articulated this thing which I have observed.
