Gender Identity

Have enough sex threads as it is, though I suppose one more addition to the growing collection couldn't hurt, now could it? Risking soundin' like a broken record with this genital nonsense, I must come off as perverted. Don't mean to, and not really "perverted" per se, just curious is all. Or, maybe I am. But a good deal of perversion is necessary in order to remain functioning, happy and healthy and whatnot. I guess most just don't come out with it as open as I.

For those mindless goons that are unaware, the differences between sex/gender in this spoiler. Painful to see how oblivious to it some are, and they are mixed up more often then one might think. Skip this if you are a literate little know-it-all.

Spoiler

As for me, I am biologically a female, but identify with neither females nor males. This may be partially due to my age, too young to have established a specific role. But I somehow doubt it - see my girlish peers in their short-shorts and high-heels, see them painted in their makeup and watch them flip their hair flirtatiously. Thought that such roles were not founded until far later in life, but it seems that everyone else my age has developed much faster than myself; my body has evolved accordingly, yet my mind remains intact and untouched. If not that, then it is because I find it difficult to identify with humans in general. And how could you possibly expect someone who cannot even feel human - cannot even feel comfortable in their own skin - to be able to identify with a set gender?

Oh yeah, and votes are public.

EDIT: I should have probably posted this in the discussion section, but the district is too serious for my tastes. Like a tang of spam to go with, cannot get that in the discourse sec. Here my posts mean nothing, but hey, whatever...

 

I am biologically female yet androgyous because I don't wear make up but I'm not overly masculine either. I show characteristics of both I suppose, plus I feel like a woamn.

 

Man, you write a lot.


This thread is now about kittens.

 

Biologically female and femine here. You can't girlier and more bleeding-all-over-the-floor than this chick right here

 

I'm most definitely female biologically, but I'm not really sure mentally. I'm kinda trying to avoid gender specific thinking anyways, and rather judge people by their actions and accomplishments, in stead of what's between their legs, and I'd wish others would do the same for me, even though I know that it's a long shot.
I do have some very feminine traits (my mind works in a fairly standard way for a woman, I suppose), but for some reason my interests seem to be traditionally masculine (war-films, hate rom-coms, scifi, etc).

I do. Just expressing myself the best I can, sorry. And alright, fair enough. Kittens will do. If the above bores you, then disregard everything said and let's talk about kittens. Funny, I derail all of my own threads within the first few posts...

 

^THIS!!!

So this...

 

Where's the ''I don't exist'' option?

 

male biologically and pretty masculine, and sure as heck not the other two

the one that you don't click

 

~~~~Fixed!~~~~

 

I'd say masculine male, though I also have what I guess you'd consider feminine interests. But not other that I care about what I wear and that I'm a romantic (I love love)

 

*looks at username*

*smirk*

 

biologically iron man

 

Why don't you see the pictures of me in the post your picture thread?

 

Thought you a male, actually. You are a female *checks profile*? Surprise, surprise. Learn something new every day.

Didn't exist, you wouldn't have voted/posted, Zter. Funny guy.

 

You can be feminine without wearing heels and make-up, just as you can be masculine without being buff and enjoying construction and football. I think the lines are pretty blurry; yes that is what society might deem 'masculine' or 'feminine,' but it's not necessarily how I define it for myself.

The general belief is that video games are for boys, but I think you can play them and be feminine (as I'm sure many others here do too). Society might say that field hockey is for girls, but that doesn't mean you can't play it and still be masculine. I don't think it's based solely on your interests.

Identifying with people doesn't really define it for me either. I have friends who are girls and friends who are guys. Personality-wise sure there are going to be some differences, but I've seen girls who are very similar to guys I know, but that doesn't make them androgynous or masculine. And I don't define them by what sex or what gender they are. They're just friends.

So I'm not really sure where to draw the line. I guess it's something you have to decide for yourself; what femininity is and what masculinity is, and where you put yourself.

Personally, I've always been sort of a tom-boy (though more-so when I was young, I guess), but I still consider myself 'feminine'--but that doesn't mean I don't like to blur the lines. c:

tl;dr: gender is subjective, I am biologically a girl and gender-wise feminine I guess.

 

Oh I wasn't debating that you are male, I was just pointing out the irony of someone called "Aqua101" being masculine c:

You actually thought I was male? I am dissapointed by this and a bit flabbergasted as well. I thought you knew people better than to misinterpret someone like me as a guy...

 

well, when I was making my name I was thinking of Lloyd or something, but I've used that enough, I wanted something new

 

Have seen very little of you around, which may have something to do with it; don't often browse this forum, yet somehow I am considered an active member. Very strange. But from what I have seen of you, thought you would be a feminine male, like our dear Plums. That, and your username is deceiving. Masculine. Oh, well. Sorry for the misinterpretation, will not happen twice, Ms. Christhor.

 

I thought you were a guy at first too. Mostly because of the avatar you were using. That's usually what I go off of when I try to determine someone's gender on here. I thought Rayku was a girl because his avatar was of Kairi. So yeah.
