Do you feel more like a man or a Woman

I understand exactly what you are saying i started wanting to be female at age 3 i would put my sisters dresses on play with barbies got mad when i was called a lil boy i would say no im a girl and my parents just thought it was a stage i was going through. they could not have been more wrong.

 

as a young child i would say i was more male in my psychology. in my teen years i started to become more balanced in both female/male in my psychology. unlike most boys, i never went through that stage of "all girls have cooties." i have always just thought of girls/women as people, different in a way, (like i knew i was different in a way too.) but just as human as i am. i have never thought, or felt of my gender as being either female or male. my gender is just what it is. i never felt i was in the wrong body... my body is just is what it is. if i could change my gender tommrow i have no problem with it. i think i could adjust to being of female gender quite easely.

as i grew up, i more and more moved away from acting like a boy. (macho) i've never acted like a girl. (sissy) now, i just don't act as either a boy or a girl. i don't treat other males as males, nor do i treat females as females. i treat both genders pertty much the same... as human beings. i just don't feel that i am either female or male. i just feel a sense of "i, am i." let me know if you all just don't get what i'm trying to say.

 

I'm male, feel like one too.

 

I 'borrowed' my sister's clothes quite frequently when she lived here. XD

I also loved playing with dollhouses when I was really young.

My mom thought it was a phase when I came out to her... but that was 4 or 5 years ago. That's why I'm scared to bring it up anymore... This time she might actually consider it's not a phase and might bereally scared by it.

 

I'm a guy in a guy's body, I've never felt like a girl in a man's body. Way back when I used to explain gayness to people like that, but I don't any more because basically I don't see why it's so hard to understand that a guy can fancy a guy without being any less male. I like guy stuff like farting and The Simpsons and I don't like chick stuff like watching Reaper and crying about stuff.

 

Has to do with what really scares straight guys about gay. They go around pretending a guy can only be gay if he's is obviously effeminate, then the see a movie like 300 and freak out. If a straight guy gets sent to prison, its not the gay guys he's afraid of, its the 7ft straight alphamales.

Its one thing if they hang out with a smaller girlier gay guy, they know if need be they can just give him a slap around the head if he gets too forward, not that thats ever going to happen, totally different thing if its about hanging out with a gay guy twice their size.

What constantly perplexes me are those straight guys that are twitchy around big beefy gay guys and yet turn around and dont understand why women get creeped out around straight guys that give the slightest hint of being sexually threatening

 

I was born a male, but finally I'm taking steps to correct this little (and thank God it is ) problem. So ya, girl trapped in a man's body syndrome I guess .

Vanilla, great point! I think when they are put in the situation of not being in complete control of what happens to them, they flip. Most guys are used to being in control, at least sexually, so ya when they no longer have the "power" to decide what's going to happen to them they get intimidated....you hit the nail on the head I'd have to say.

Oh and being a woman does not make life any easier I'd have to say. It takes me quite awhile to get ready in the morning (but that maybe because I haven't had any cosmetic surgury yet to help me pass without makeup etc.), in public you are not taken as seriously (if a person has the choice of helping a man in the store or a woman..I"ve found they usually help the man first..so ya takes a little longer to get things done). Little things like that start to add up...not to mention some of the much bigger issues. Anywhoo, my two cents...

Peace, love, and health,

Alice

 

Your part of the Sisterhood now, you have to start playing by the rules of the Sisterhood. Sitting around with the girls, sipping Latte's talking about shoes, you'll find you probably wont have any problems with women. As soon as its an outing with their husbands, they might consciously say to you that hubby is faithful and they are happily married, subconsciusly, if they pick up the slightest bit of extra interest a husband might have for you, watch out for the green eyed monster
