@Rebel Dynasty Why would you have such a low self esteem? You know you're awesome and pretty Shannon.

Late to the party, but anyway...How can you tell if you're of the wrong gender or just leaning more towards stuff that society said only the opposite gender should like?
I don't know what having a penis is like, so I can't tell if I'd like having one, but boobs and wide hips are free to go anytime.
I like the type of clothing that is more comfortable and functional, finding the stuff in men's section to suit my taste better, even when it comes to colors. Typical female behavior tends to irritate me. Squealing in my presence might earn you a growl and evil eye. Make-up... I understand some basics after forced practice, but I only ever put it for important events, and even then tend to stick to lipstick only. I wouldn't have so much problem with my almost 5 o'clock shade if my mother didn't constantly nag about it.
I sometimes adopt male way of talking. However I do have problems adopting their love for sports. Maybe cause most of them here tend to be rather boring, I've seen a video of a fighting match from Thailand I think, that one interested me more. I also like to watch rally when I stumble on it.
How do you figure yourself out?
Late to the party, but anyway...
Seems like you're not the wrong gender, but the latter option you presented: just leaning more towards stuff that contrasts with the typical gender roles. I know that my brother knows somebody who always felt wrong in a man's body. That person really felt 24/7 like he had the wrong physical identity, and I don't doubt that he did. He felt like he had the wrong genitals, the wrong physique, everything. And aside from that, he didn't identify with anything considered 'masculine'. So he's a she now. And I suppose that simply feeling bad can be enough reason to change your outward gender too.
And then there's people who don't really care about gender roles and what type of body they're in. They feel that they can be feminine as males, or masculine as women... if the terms masculine and feminine even mean anything at all. They don't feel gender dysphoria.
Sometimes that just happens: your brain gets wired differently from your body. I think it usually happens in the first stages of development. Having said all this, I don't have all the info on it, and I doubt I can ever say I truly understand it. All I know is it goes beyond preferences and likes/dislikes.
Yeah, and incorrect definitions only makes it even harder. I mean, take the word 'asexual' (noun) for example. A lot of asexuals think that it means ''somebody who doesn't want/have sex with others but does have a normal sex drive otherwise''.Better late than never.
Thanks for the input, it helped to get the image a bit clearer. Most likely I'm just a masculine woman, I think even my desire to get rid of my uterus and breasts might be more out of practicality than anything.
It's hard these days with so many categories floating around and your sexuality and gender almost part of basic introduction on internet. Most of the time those are the questions I scratch my head over for the longest. At my age I should have myself figured out, yet I often don't have a clue.
TO ALL THE PEOPLE TALKING BEHIND MY BACK: Please talk in front of my back. Thank you.
