I don't know where someone would label me on the gender spectrum, but I have similar feelings regarding the "man up" phrase. At its very best, it's a motivational phrase. At its worse, it's a manipulative saying that plays on the male ego. Since I don't derive purpose or pride from being a bio-male, "manning up" is a meaningless phrase to me.

Eerily, your statement reminds me of what Ferdinand Foch said in 1919.
