For me, my gender is not much more important in my identity than my hair color or eye color.

For me, it is something bad. It is like a contract which was signed before my birth between my parents and society about my responsibilities and rights... and I never got to read it or have a say about it in the least. I wish I could step out of it.

I was born male, and although I have no desire to be female, I've never really conformed to the traditional masculine role that I'm supposedly required to play. I've always been into girlish things and have had somewhat girlish mannerisms.

I consider myself to be androgynous. I don't care for gender conformity.

I define myself by my personality and not my gender.

I don't identify as either sex. I relate better to men but have feminine qualities. I see myself as apart from both men and women, the outside observer, in exactly the same way I do with humanity in general. "Men" and "women" are just subsets of humanity, and I don't feel like I am the same species as the other humans regardless of which category they fall into.

I consider myself a bit of a tweener between the two. My personality incorporates good parts from both sides.

I've been kind of thinking about this a lot lately. Sometimes (ok, a lot of times lately) I wonder what it was like to be living from the other side. Just too bad you can't just conveniently switch sides as you wanted.

I feel kinda the same. When I was little the few friends I had were girls & when I started going true puberty; I wished I was a girl because I didn't have any friends. i was bullied a lot for being gay amongst other things even thou I never had any desire/interest in having sex with guys. I sort of accepted that I'm a male physically but I don't really feel like one & I think some things in my life would of been a lot better if I was a girl. Women who want partners with my personality tend to be lesbians & sense I'm not a girl; I don't have a chance with em. Even thou I accepted my gender; I don't like it

I'm a man trapped in a woman's body.

Since we're in opposite, too bad we couldn't trade spots eh?

There's a lot of days where I just wish I was a woman. The last six months have been torture, my brain can't rationalize it. I wouldn't even be girly girl or anything like that, I don't have interest in guys, but I just want to switch teams if you catch my drift.

It would be fun to be able to do that. :)
