So I wanted to ask my fellow Aspies or even NTs what I may be experiencing? I am an undiagnosed Aspie, so it is possible that I may not have it but I always suspected something was wrong with me socially and people would often call me out on my bluntness and monotone speech, etc..

So in terms of gender, I have always seen myself as a girl. Looking back on my life never cross dressed or anything, I would say I'm quite a tomboy in that I have always enjoyed sports, liked hanging with males most of the time although I do have a very feminine side like enjoying gossip, latest trends, celebrity culture and admiration for fashion and girly things.
Anyways, I wonder why sometimes I see myself as a guy when I think of the future? It's like half and half, sometimes I will see a girl, sometimes I will see a guy but it's not me as a guy (at least i don't think it is) , I see a different man acting out the things in my narrative. In the present moment I'm fine with my body and when I look in the mirror I'm generally content. I have been content for the most part of my life except didn't really like my boobs, because they are DDD and they did hurt me physically at times and I wanted to get them reduced.. Anyways, in my dreams when I am asleep I am always a girl and do girly things in my dreams.. So is what I'm experiencing normal for an Aspie girl or am I more of a gender fluid individual or something along those lines. If you need me to clarify more just tell me. I've been worrying about this lately if it means something but I am willing to accept what I may be. I think being trans might be pushing it but maybe that is what I am?

When you have imagined yourself doing things and you imagined a male in your role was it doing an activity that would stereotypically be a male activity? Such as playing a sport or chopping wood.

If so, you're applying more significance to it than you need to.

No, not necessarily. I'm trying to discern whether it's just normal imagination or not. I just thought about a male character from a tv show and re enacted a scene in my head that he did and what he said.
