I was wildly submissive as a kid, until I discovered that if I wanted to succeed as a man in our society, I would have to be "alfa male" on the outside, and sub. on the inside..

Yes, a lot of us mask.

But also, you can be a protector and a provider in a submissive way.

Can you describe my being a "protector" or "provider" while dressed up as a sissy?

LOL. I mean, it's possible, but I suspect that's not what being a sissy is about.

I just meant that being a protector and provider in the outside world is not inconsistent with being a submissive. We can serve in ways that look typically masculine.

I'm sure a fellow man couldn't identify a submissive hetero man who was by himself or with other men, but maybe it could be easier to identify one based on his interactions with women or with his partner or something.

I think it's possible to spot men who are champions rather than commanders, but that's probably as far as you could go.
