I've just read some older posts on here about how other guys can feel it when they're sexually excited or are half asleep and I feel like an outsider because I don't have that feeling. Are all FTMs supposed to have this feeling?
I'm pretty sure a study done a few years ago stated that around 60 percent did; so the majority do. However, not all reported to feeling it. They used the study to :"argue that the study adds to the evidence that body images of gender are hard-wired before birth, and may also hint at a biological basis – one that is predetermined before birth – for why many transsexuals claim to feel a mismatch between their 'gender identity' and the sex that they were born.
While still preliminary, the theory is based on existing knowledge that much of the way we perceive our body is from innate hard-wiring of our brains during embryo development."
It goes hand in hand with the study done after that stating that white brain matter in FTM is almost identical to biological men.
I mean, I suppose I have one? I forget that what I have down there isn't exactly what it's supposed to be until I reach down there LOL.. but even then I forget about it. I don't really think of it as female at all anymore, until I actually THINK about it.
