I've always had a fear of men, since I was younger. Nothing traumatic happened to me, involving one either. I don't know why I have this phobia. I just do. Fictional men or male characters, are awesome. But real ones terrify me. Certain ones, cause me more anxiety than others. I was wondering if anyone else has this fear on this forum. I recently made a Whisper group called Androphobia. To try and find other people who experience the same thing.

I can kind of relate. For me (bio female, genderfluid), I can be comfortable with gay men, but straight men scare me. Even if I know him, there's still a small fear there. I think, for me, it's the testosterone and aggression that can happen. Gay men seem more docile to me, idk.
