| My biological sex is female. My gender is "none." I am who I am. I dress how I want. I pursue my interests without regard as to whether they're "masculine" or "feminine." I present myself to others the way I feel most comfortable at any given moment, not caring at all if my gender ambiguity makes p... |

| I had a slice of pizza for dinner and a breadstick n I feel fat :( I feel like that when I treat myself sometimes too. But whenever I've told myself that I am not allowed treats I find that I backslide and gain even more weight than I had previously. And thanks, by the way. This weight loss is so i... |

Nope.
Do you check out members of the sex you are attracted to, and compare them to your partner? |

| I also have concentration problems that worsen with decreasing interest level. If I am reading, I find that whispering it to myself helps keep me on it. Otherwise I realize that while my eyes have read the words, my brain has sung a song, made a list, who knows what else, simultaneously. All the whi... |

| I have a lot of eating/food issues, and in the last 3 years I gained 100 lbs. Without going into a ton of detail, I have pinpointed where the issues are, and am FINALLY starting to lose weight. I weigh myself every morning, and I haven't gained a pound since I started the daily weigh-in. I started ... |

I'm not good with multi-tasking and I don't like having a lot of people around me. Not only that, but I am just not inte... |

Interesting you mention David Reimer, I used to be quite close with the family.

| I have identified as transgender for close to five years. But I've only realized I am probably an aspie for close to a year. I've never cared about social norms, or actually for that matter even noticed them. In my world, I am the normal one. I think that is how and why I've been able to freely expr... |

| Hah. Yes. When I was little I made up a script for a movie about a family of eleven kids that would star only me and my sister cause those were the available actors, and I thought it through so that we would each play about six people and no more than two would appear on screen at the same time.

I avoid public washrooms at all cost, and I think it's been about five or six years since I have used one. I also have difficulty using a bathroom at someone elses house. I don't like people watching me cook ... |

| Understood. I get out of that when I'm in it by... getting someone to lure me somewhere basically. Suggesting we go get ice cream etc. Actually that's me luring them. But I couldn't go without them. Starts you feeling better being out and about but need someone to wind you up. This is pretty much h... |

| I'm sorry to hear that you have had such bad luck with men. I've met terrible males and females, and I think it is more a personality thing than necessarily gender. Although I do agree that men seem to have less tact, women can be downright conniving and cruel and scary. I've experienced bullying fr... |

Swimsuits are stretchy, just pull it to the side and go. |

| My comment is about your thread title. You have gender issues, to be sure. But they are not stupid. They may frustrate you--they may even infuriate you. But they are not stupid. You are the unique person that you are in part because of your self-identity. Whether that is male, female or some imprec... |
