You still, most likely, take up as much space as you need when in a space with other people, without questioning whether that is fair.
How do I take less space than I need? The fact that I’m physically big is hardly cultural. (I do think that that’s unfortunate when I am in a limited space with someone else, but there’s little I can do about that.)
You still probably make insulting cracks at your friends when hanging out, though they’re jokes, not serious.
Yeah, sometimes I do, but it’s not like women never do.
Your Adam’s apple doesn’t feel like an out-of-place tumor, nor does your penis (dysphoria).
That’s hardly cultural.
And you don’t get the gender-swapped equivalent of this
Women, generally, take up as little space as they can manage. It is not comfortable to sit with your arms held in past your sides and your ankles crossed, yet this is the default position most women will assume when sitting anywhere public. There is the baseline assumption that for 1 pie= the space of a room with 20 people, they deserve less than 1/20th of the pie; any space they take up is intrusive and taking any more pie than they need to not starve is wrong, even if others need no pie.

Generally they don’t. It’s rare, and women who do with any regularity are partially breaking from the bundle. Which happens, of course; people hold to the bundles to different degrees.

The feeling of those body parts being part of you is entirely mental and heavily associated with the bundles ‘man’ and ‘woman’. So you should not expect those sensations (or the reverse ‘breasts feel like tumors’ and ‘vagina feels like a wound’) to co-occur with the bundle ‘man’ (or the reverse with ‘woman’).

I actually usually do. (There are exceptions.)
