i identify more with what i'm attracted to than with what i am. hence my usual avatars

i would like it if it weren't weird to get rid of all my body hair (i actually have already gotten rid of most of it permanently, my beard included, but hairless legs are still weird for men). if it weren't for the whole change that it would entail (besides, i wouldn't be a good-looking woman at all. my face is unambiguously masculine), i definitely wouldn't mind switching my sex. i feel that the current expectations attached to the male gender are more limiting to me personally than the ones attached to the female gender

i like it that i can travel alone and don't need to worry about safety as much as a woman would need to. i like the thought of being physically inside someone i'm attracted to. but i think that's about it. i think all the other things i care about which i can do (as well as the ones i'm socially not supposed to) are generally possible/acceptable for women nowadays. and honestly i don't even mind the thought of a "housewife" sort of role

or, even better, waxed. or, even better, laser-zapped

in my personal opinion, body hair can be tolerable sometimes, but it makes anyone significantly less attractive in most cases. and underarm hair... just... no

I was born with a willy, so I consider myself male in a biological sense. Don't really care much beyond that, apart from my beard. I don't get asked for ID with the beard. :lol:

I was born a male and am happy being a male. However, I don't think it has anything, or much at all, to do with my identity. My gender has nothing to do with my identity in my opinion. I actually have wondered before if people that place too much emphasis on their gender being part of their identity have issues or insecurities with it.

My sex is a very important aspect of my identity.
