So... turns out that my physical and mental symptoms...

[Bao Sanniang]

...were indeed symptoms of being female, despite the fact that I'm male. Something must have gone "wrong" during conception.

Heck, my male hormone levels may be normal but my female hormone levels are higher.

I learned this talking to a woman.

I'm planning on going on a hormone focused diet, typically taken up by men turning transgender, with foods and supplements rich in female hormones. I can't say I've really been comfortable with male psychology, in fact I've gotten quite comfortable with who I am now and would like to go even further in that direction. I've already taken up crossdressing in the privacy of my home by wearing things under my man clothes. sweatdrop

How weird does all this sound?

It's not weird at all, I think that you should go for it if that's how you feel and I wish you the best of luck 3nodding

It sounds healthy that you know yourself and are at peace with that.
You gotta do what makes you happy. As long as your not hurting anyone else it shouldn't be anyones business but yours.
I had a cousin that was going through transgender process... but he still liked women so he was going to be a lesbian transgender. He passed away though before the process was completed.

I'm not going transgender, I just want to assist myself in having a female mind. smile

My only concern is why you would even include that first poll option.

Certain people will seize on any chance to tear someone else down to try and make themselves feel better. No need to egg them on or give them an opening like that.

Hope that you find a way to be happy.

I wondered if there were any people in the Guild like that, I doubted it but I figured this was potential TG territory and that anybody who felt that way would be counted even if I could not find out who it was.  

[FireSpark]

I applaud your self confidence, but have doubts as to your methods. By adding that option to your poll, you intentionally gave an opening for those that would select that option. I can only see it as inciteful, and as such have removed the option from the poll. If you feel this removal was unwarrented, you can PM me and we can discuss the matter.

I think it's good to have thought this through and come up with a plan and made a decision. Most people would just stumble around trying to pretend to be "normal." I've never been normal myself. My hormone levels are a little wonky too, just enough to throw me off of the norm for females. But I pretty much like who I am, so I see no reason to make a huge deal out of it.  

[Liada Trovaras]

Its not the least bit weird. I have a friend who's currently going through the process it takes to be a woman in mind and body. Not to mention I live next to the biggest city of gender diversity along with diversity in general. There's nothing weird about it at all and its good that its making sense for you after reaching this discovery. I hope the best for you in your journey.

female but i do have some masculine traits that i got through social interaction. i somehow think i get the feminine traits through social interaction too tho cause no way in hell id wear uncomfortable shoes and rip my eyebrows out just to look sexy it this werent an environment that requires it biggrin im not talking abt just looks, but all the small things that make women be feminine.the way they talk they walk and the way they talk too much when a topic asks for a simple answer to a simple question, its more womanly to overcomplicate it . ugh. neutral neutral
