Both. I do want to father children, and I still have the male desire to.....penetrate girls. Though it might be interesting to be vaginally penetrated, I still have the strong desire to penetrate girls. (And I know this is not genital-related, but since I was a small child, I've only had crushes on girls, never on guys).

I've been thinking about that. If you take away the family part and all the people that I know (which is kinda easy, since I'll be moving across the country soon where I don't know anyone). Living as a female would be nice, but kinda hard since there are difficulties that women face that men don't. Trivial (like fashion, hygiene, etc) and not trivial (sexism, being more afraid of men). I'd still want to live as a male when I see my family. I'd probably want to be a male for work stuff too, since dressing as a woman but being a man might affect job/promotion opportunities, since I'm legally male and I don't know if you can legally change your gender without a sex change. Also, I still want a girlfriend (not a boyfriend), but I don't know which will be harder: finding a lesbian who would be open to my penis, or a girl who will be open to my other side.

I thought about that. Well, I'm about 5'7", 130 pounds, very skinny with almost no muscle, have a somewhat high voice (I didn't talk much, and when I did, I spoke softly and sounded sick), have no visible Adam's Apple, have naturally feminine-esque eyebrows, slender hands. I'm not a very manly/masculine person is what I'm trying to say. I'm also only 17, and there aren't many transwomen that are that young, so I was thinking that my age might have something to do with it. But maybe you are right. I don't know what others were thinking.
