Christianity Question

Is it wrong to be a "feminine" boy?

You see, as a Catholic guy, sometimes I feel ashamed
for being somewhat "feminine." I want to paint my
nails, use makeup, grow my hair, and shave. I'm
worried that being "girly" is against what God might
want from me as a male person. I don't believe it's
entirely sinful in itself, but lately I read some
Christian articles that state that "men should dress
and act like men," and vice versa. Look, I support
gender differences, but wear is the line between
gender-nonconformity and acting your gender.

Try to think of it like in every culture there is a feminine gender role in a masculine general all right so whatever country you’re in the into that masculine gender role because then I know some rules are the same for every country like in some countries men also wear some sort of dresses but in America that seen as feminine But just stated that general of that country you know I’m saying which is America do you know traditionally men wear pants they work they go to work and they do you know build stuff and with the seven and let the girls usually stay home and take care of the kids and cook and stuff so that’s the line you know because in the Bible it does say


“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor (perversely) effeminate, nor homosexuals,”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬ ‭AMP‬‬

So yes like painting your nails a color in wearing make up all those things are feminine and you would be being effeminate but you know if you want to take care of yourself like you know getting into skin care and stuff like that that’s you taking care of the temple you know that you taking care of your body like if you wanna paint your nails clear get it like manicure or something that’s normal but like if you’re adding random colors to your nails like red orange yellow green blue or anything Cetera You know it’s coming feminine like if you start adding make up to that skin care routine that’s feminine in the US I don’t know if you’re like in a tribe where are you know you put tribe marks or whatever but I think I suspect you’re in America which is like we don’t like you know men don’t traditionally wear make up so that’s the gender roles of men of a man and that’s the general rules of a girl when you start to wear that make up and stuff like that you have to like you know abide by which country you’re in you know if that’s the culture you know Try to find happiness in your masculinity
