"I've done no such thing. I said I dress female and present one -- as in, appear outwardly to be. My clothes come from the ladies' department. I have long hair. I wear jewelry and makeup sometimes. I am not female, and do not 'identify' myself as such. If there was an "other" option, that's what my driver's license would say instead of M."
Dressing female- check
presenting as one- check
being comfortable with it- check
Most straight women would consider you as identifying some part of yourself as female (though you may not own it in the mental sense as you are clarifying in the "genetic inbetween the legs sense" which are two different things) and with the natural breasts you are comfortable with, says you are also comfortable with that biological female characteristic within you.
So a man who identifies himself as straight, yet sleeps with men on occasion is straight?
Like a one who claims they are vegan but eats eggs.
We all recognize what's between your legs identifies you as male and as you said, nothing changes that, you're right. Till death do you depart from it. What it is, is your femininity in your actions that identifies you as more feminine. Do you at all see it this way?
Its the blending of your genetic gender and biological female characteristics as well as your feminine actions of expression that produce this "other" effect of how you see yourself. We understand that. Its neither black nor white. Their is such a big gray area.
It just seems you don't want to own it as in identifying with both genders. Is identifying as both male and female that different from "Other?"
Or is "other" some type of special gender that is so rare and it only happens to 1% of the population amongst the male, female and intersexed?
Are you not at all attracted to males nor females? If not, then I can see one identifying themselves as "other."
