Teaching | New Delhi, 2017 | Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche

I am, by nature, an Essentialist:  who believes in the psychic, or "ideal" pre-existence of masculinity (and, therefore, perforce, of femininity in which we are of course, however, much less interested)--and I gotta say (in my capacity as a relentless macho judge): this dude is butch. As was the Dalai Lama (in a different, distinctly personal way of course) when he was the same age and younger than Dzongar Jam....I would say that  the difference in their masculinities is, that Dzongar is a tad more patiently avuncular, and that the young Dalai Lama was more acidly brusque.
