three typically male traits you will never give up.

[Ellieka]

This is mostly for the MtF people but It would be neat if on of the brothers here started a similar thread for FtMs.

So, there are so many things that are generally considered typically male traits or characteristics like not asking for directions or scratching in public. what are three that that you have as MtF that you most likely will always have?

Mine:

1.)Reading in the restroom
2.)Love of Women
3.)playing with electricity or anything electronic.

Edited for truth. hehe

HEY! that Hydrogen explosion was a valid experiment!

I'm not certain about "reading in the restroom," Cami.

We have catalogs in the restroom and we both will look through them sometimes. I'm not sure that counts as reading. Could you help sort that out?

lol! well it might just be unique to my family.

Growing up by brothers and I would take a book with us while "using the facility". My mother said that was a typical male thing to do. I still do that and some times I find nothing more relaxing then drawing a hot bath with some aromatic bath oil and just laying there with a good novel.

I always thought the reading in the bath was a more feminine thing but...

Lol I had an amazing plan to study for the math section of the SAT every time I went to the bathroom.  Didn't quite work.

I think I have some 'male' traits:

1. I will wear something without washing it until it smells, looks dirty, or hasn't been washed in a month or two.  This applies for everything except underwear and socks, lol.

2. My socks have holes in them and I don't care.

3. Not a huge fan of the color pink.

[almost,angie]

1. Drag boat racing
2. being a father
3. Drag boat racing

[mtfbuckeye]

Hmmm.. I have a few I guess

1. Attraction to women (and adoration of them)
2. Loving the NFL and MLB
3. Video games

Those are the ones that come to mind..

I'm not MtF though you could say I am transgendered in that direction. You could say Androgynes have free range of behaviour but I feel quite a strong rejection of being considered male so I guess that colors everything. So maybe this question still applies to me.

1. hunting
2. penis
3. steak dinners

mmmmm stake!

wait, thats a male thing? DANG IT!

[Sephirah]

Hmm...

1. Being uncomfortable about other people paying for things. (Although I'm not so sure it's as much a typical male trait as it is just my personal values).

2. The desire to protect, and provide a feeling of safety and security, for the woman I love.

3. Um... *blank stare*

This is more difficult than I thought, because the way I think... I don't register any of it as being male, and never have... so the traits I possess, to me at least, are part of my identity, and therefore female traits... albeit my own particular female traits. If others percieve things as being typically male, so be it, but I don't really see it that way.

Lol, I just think in a very weird way, don't mind me.

[Kimberly]

Anything I am thinking of has a typical feminine equivalent it seems. The below included.
1. Gamer
2. Programming and general technical IT junk, even if it drives me batty sometimes.
3. Um... Being the strong one usually, I suppose.

[cindybc]

I don't watch TV and never liked sports, don't realy care for fishing and stuff like that.

I love reading anything that is mentally challenging

I enjoy shopping

I like hiking and swimming and camping during the summer months

I love spending time with friends on the web, and I love socialising and working with people.

I sold all my carpentry tools and mechanical tools and don't realy miss it that much except that I wouldn't  mind doing finishing work and small repairs in wood working. I like doing outside stuff like working in a garden mowing the lawn and didn't even mind shoveling snow, but there is no snow hare and i truly don't miss it

Well I guess some of the stuff I like doing could be appreciated by either sex.

[Janet_Girl]

1. Watching Football.  Wait my ex wife does that too. 

2. Motorcycles.  I really want another one, I miss my baby.  Or at least a guy with one. 

3. War movies.  Especially WW II.

Do those count?

None of you is going to miss watching the telly with your right hand on the remote & your left hand on your crotch? How come?  Bahhh!

Never did that to begin with. ROTFL

[cindybc]

How about putting the cell phone on vibrate in your panties and repeat dialing your own phone number while watching TV.  Probably the only way I would watch TV.

Hmmmmm, this turned out to be tougher than I thought, and even the two I came up with there are plenty of cisgendered women who enjoy them too, so yeah:

1. Enjoying martial arts and gymnastics. ( Though I equally enjoy dance - human beings have SUCH physical potential it's staggering. Sigh... )
2. Getting all competitive and "logic-ie/fact-based" in any kind of debate or argument. I WILL drown you in science.
3. uhm ... uhhhhh ... well ...

[KarenLyn]

I couldn't think of three.

1. Drinking milk out of the carton.

I was going to put down stock car racing except I didn't start that until after my transition.
