[quote=Anonymous]New poster here, coming late to the game.

Can you describe what feeling a particular gender "feels" like?   I ask because I'm (born) female, straight, but don't feel any particular strong attachment to being female.  As a little kid, I was a tomboy, and wanted to "be" a boy, but I think that's because boys got to do a lot more than girls did.   That feeling passed.  And I just was what I was.

So this feeling of being either a man or a woman, to the point of being willing to change your physical appearance/characteristics, is completely foreign to me.  Is it possibly because it's easier for a female in our culture to be more masculine?  Wear jeans?  Play sports? Be a firefighter?     But it's not as socially-acceptable for men to be more feminine in this culture.     Or is it something more?  And is it describable?

Usually I feel like I'm an extremely empathetic person, but it's so hard for me to get this.   Not that it matters.   What others want is fine with me.   I'd never stand in your way and I'd always support your rights.   I just wish I could "get" it.  If that makes sense.  [/quote]
