I don't identify as a woman. I know without a doubt that I'm not female. Even as a child I would tell everybody that listened that I was not a girl. I've never called myself a ,,she". When I put on a dress, I feel more like a man in drag. Sometimes I'm even worried about being found out even though my body is female – which is weird, I guess.
I identify more as a man. When I dream, I see myself as a man, and it always saddens me when I wake up. When I'm in the company of men, I have more of a sense of belonging, although I don't get some of the stereotypically male things.
I'm convinced that I should have been born physically male, and I when I transition, I will go all the way. I can't imagine only taking hormones, but keeping my breasts or only having top surgery or not having bottom surgery. The need to have a male body is just so deeply ingrained in my being.
Personality-wise I don't think I'm 100% male though. I guess it's more like a 70% / 30% thing, if that makes sense? 70% male, 30% ... well, not female, but something other than male? There's just that small part of me that isn't male, that refuses to fit into the traditional binary system, that absolutely loves giving people mixed signals.
When my parents call me their daughter, I always get mad or depressed. Being called a man doesn't hurt as much. In fact being recognized as a man often makes me happy. On the internet I'm exclusively male, but I present myself as a rather feminine man, and I have to admit it feels very liberating. When I do that, I just feel like me. IRL I bind my chest, my hair's on the short side (although not as short as most men's), and when I wear women's clothes I'm always sad that all people see is a young woman in a dress.
