Basically, I'm a 34 year old bisexual femme guy. | regularly wear necklaces, pins and earrings, I dress in bright flamboyant colors, and in social settings it is quite obvious that I'm more at ease talking with women than with men.

72. Hey, thanks for asking. I was just thinking about my gender the other day after I went shopping for a pair of boys shorts and a strapless bra. My clothing has more gender than I do. So here are a few first minute thoughts on the subject, organized into shorter and short: How do I define my gender? I don't.
A child once asked me “are you a boy or a girl?" I said, “both.” Now, I would say “neither.”
73. I am a bisexual androgynous woman rebelling against the male body I was born in and the masculine facade that I have created to fit in to my male dominated society. The same society that insisted I be tough, “manly” and aggressively competitive. The same society that punished me for showing emotion and being more sensitive than the “other boys.”
Ironically, | have succeeded in being the “alpha male of my pack.” I am a soldier; an officer and a gentleman, as such, to be respected and obeyed. I am a physician and healer. | am an explorer and athlete and scholar. I am many people who were expected to be male in less enlightened times.
Now, having finally admitted the truth to myself, I have quit trying to chase my femininity into the dark shadows of my psyche. I am now taking steps to alter my body as I see fit to express the gender I wish to express. I am maintaining the strength and fortitude I developed in my quest to be a “real man” and | am using it to endure the even harder path to expressing myself as a woman.
Whether I am in high heels or combat boots, running with wolves or contemplating a sunset...I am me. I am alive, free and in the pursuit of happiness.
74. Priest in their religion, priestess in ours.
75. Ill-defined, ill-gendered; over/under defined, over/under gendered; beyond definition, beyond gender. Definition fatigued yet gender starved. Barely a woman, but allways a dyke,
76. I am... an Aussie FtM TS spin bowler, straight (but likes guys now and then), who hopes to be the first transsexual on his state's men’s cricket team . . . maybe someday I'll play for the country and beat the Poms (that's Australian for Englishmen) at Lord's (cricket ground) and win the Ashes yet again. :)
Oh yes, the Ashes are a trophy played for by Australia and England in cricket.
77. Transsexual Woman Estranged Parent Catholic Lesbian Ex-Engineer Waitress with "delusions of blandeur” and a happy love of God and each of Her/His children.
78. I'm a multidimentional butch daddy dyke shaman artist alien who fucks with stereotypes, I believe I could answer that differently each and every day.
79. In me, binary American culture can only see an FTM. My best MTF friend calls me “Wrong Way Walker” :) I'm mixed-gendered, i'm other-gendered, i'm a Third.
80. I'm your average . .. normal... person... who happens to be a Female to Male Transexual, (a heterosexual—“with a twist”) A “spiced up” version of the average.
90. I'm gay-positive (bent!) straight Jewish formerly working-class white geri feminist who teaches women's studies and is going to be a new mom to a sweet babe from China!

92. A free-roving TwoSpirit with shades of a Shoalin Monk with a little Scottish Highlander thrown in for spice. But failing that, I am Life.
93. If I knew what I was, I would be lot happier at the moment. Lets see, butch enough to drive a motorcycle and repair it, femme enough to pass as @ (ex)model, if I cared enough. Butch enough to do martial arts, silly enough to own a couple of frilly tart dresses. I do attract butches and femmes, although I am turned more on by butches at the moment.
94. | am a Gen X, highfemme, non-monogamous, sexworker/teacher/healer/performer, switchable SM dyke.
That looks so short, but I think of it as the headlines in the newspaper of my life. I don't think I was ever anything else, really. I always felt comfortable in my gender. Sexual expression and behavior is my battlefield.
95. My greatest cruelty is in my kindness. I am a butch queer leather Daddy; a gentlemen sadist. Those who love me refer to me as The Whore Of Babylon.
96. A Lesbian trapped in a man’s body.

105. Fence-straddling, Bridge-burning, machoflaming bisexual prettyboy faggotdude—a singer of the high and the low
106. Sexy, sensual, good-looking guy who just so happened to be born female but is working to change that!
107. Happily recovering from the dark world of unknown to the world of light. Enjoying the life | knew was always inside, could never hide, & letting others ‘see the “real” me! I smile & laugh so much now, I'm another person! I hope to see the day when others are able to shine in their light! \End transcriptions]
