Debating on 'coming out' except not quite.

I live with a pair of roomates who are gay, and they are trying to help me get on my feet. To them, they think part of 'helping' is trying to teach me how to be more 'feminine'. (I prefer not to shave my legs, don't wear makeup, don't like children, never wear skirts, dresses, or high heels, and, in their opinion, my mannerisms, language, and posture are 'un-womanly') for complicated and depressing reasons I don't want to get into here, I am more or less stuck living with them for the time being. I am, though, sick and tired of them trying to make me fit into this outdated 'straight cis woman' box they think I should be in, when clearly I'm not. If I had to put a word on what I consider myself, it would probably be agender, with masculine leanings, if any. But, my roomates are the sort of people who deny the exsistence of asexuals and atheists. so I'm guessing they would also put agender in the same category of 'things that aren't real'. So coming out as agendered at best would not accomplish my goals, and at worst might make them try to 'feminize' me even more in the name of 'helping' me. They do though, in their black and white world, understand that trans-gendered individuals are a thing, so my question is, should I 'come out' as female-to-male trans-gendered, in order to stop their condecending, frankly sexist, outdated, and steriotypical attempts to 'help' in this way? I fit orders of magnitude more into the 'trans man' box than I ever will the '1940s-magazine-ad-woman' box they keep trying to put me in. Any trans alacrity players reading this, what do you think?
