I didn't interpert it as you saying trans men aren't men, just that all trans men ascribe to a certain form of masculinity. There are trans men who are soft twinks and paint their nails, and there are trans men who are bodybuilders and go hunting, and many who are both or neither, just like with cis men. There are trans men who are sweet and kind and there are trans men who are misogynistic assholes (see: Buck Angel).

Also, didn't mean to assume you were non-binary. My bad.

Is the word you're looking for demiboy, femboy, softboy, gender fluid, or something along those lines? There's an LGBTQ wiki that has a list of all those specialty terms, specific identities, and sexualities, which might be helpful. You're also under no obligation to label your gender identity, if that's what you prefer.
