Capacity to care nurture and love are not exclusively feminine traits.

TentofMot: Of course they aren't, although what traits would you classify as being exclusively male or exclusively female? This is why I don't believe in gender absolutes.

Being an Idiot is very male.

My apologies. I got to this thread, not by the forum index, but by a sidebar list, probably 'active discussions'. So I did not realize till now it was for woman only.

TrentofMot: Oh! The way I was interpreting your post was that you were proud to be as minimally female as you thought possible... Too many people see traditionally feminine traits as being negative characteristics. All is forgiven haha

Nay, they are wonderful. Attraction to that is part of how I percieve my maleness.

Ideally, I'd like humans to just hurry up and upgrade to cyborg type bodies. That way I can just be me without worrying about 'acting like a girl or boy'.

I don't believe in "gender". Just biological sex. As a scientist, I just can't wrap my head around this whole weird social stuff going on with gender. It's nonexistent and I don't support it and never have. The only thing that makes you male or female is your DNA. I'm not including uni-sex people in this argument since they're both.

So, basically what I'm saying... Do whatever the f**k you want and stop trying to say something is "feminine" or "masculine". These dumb labels are infuriating.

It's a pretty even split for me. Before I had children I would've said more male than female. For some reason the whole birthing/breastfeeding/caregiving thing evened it all out a good amount.

I say for me definitely female. But I believe this could change.

Physically fully female. Then I don't think interests are gender-related, if they are it's societal, so I don't give a... damn. Emotionally I was said to be cold - which is not true - and manlike :roll: Again, in spite of hormonal disparities, that means nothing to me. It has to do with the person, and the person only, IMO.

I'm FtM, but I do acknowledge that I have a few feminine traits I think a few are within the realm of normal for a man. Mainly I find my instinct more of the maternal sort than the paternal kind to put it best.

Boys. I find it considerably easier to talk to boys than to girls. My mom says I'm more like a son than a daughter.

I voted for "unsure," not because it isn't quite clear to me that I have a female body, but because most of my close friends are male (or lesbians...what to make of that?) and I have always gotten along better with guys than with women.

But really, what baffles me and pisses me off is how much of life seems to me like it should be gender-irrelevant, and yet people persist in treating me so explicitly like a Girl/Woman at moments when being a sexual being is just not on my radar. I mean, I'm standing in line to pay for something, I'm walking down the street, I'm not engaging with you, I'm reading a book and drinking coffee-how is it important if I'm male or female?

Exactly.

I guess gender is ingrained into people's minds as being relevant to everything.

I am a girl, yet inside I just seem like me.
^I totally agree with you on that, AnaHitori [I like your username, by the way.]
