I was never male, not even my chromosomes are male. hee hee hee

I am confused. Are you genitically intersexed?   

Yes, I am. 

Thank, that settles my confusion. 

How long before you found that out and how did you feel before you were told about your intersex condition?

  I was born intersex with a smaller than usual penis, one deformed testicle and ovarian tissue.  My parents and the doctors decided to assign me as male because they thought I'd be happier that way. I hated my bloody bits because they made me something I was not.   I hated the doctors for making an operation on me that made me an unhappy person.  I hated my parents for allowing that to happen.  my life was changed with that bloody operation that should have never happened.  I'm still annoyed because it made my life a bloody nightmare.

I had MTF genital surgery two years ago and I'm finally living a life that makes sense to me.

Nothing, really. Tink summed up my thoughts rather well. While I get insulted at people for assuming I'm stupid (for any reason, but moreso for being a woman), I'd rather people think I'm a stupid woman than a smart man. People who make assumptions like that, though, aren't worth the trouble of proving my intelligence to! <-<;;

I replied an earlier version of this...I said I liked the solitary elements of malehood. I like to be able to walk off alone and watch people, which seems a male thing.

In an answer to the question:
My sexdrive, emotional stability, rationality, thinking of me first then on others (in my femininity this is the other way around, so i have it both), higher self-confidence, my anger, the feeling of testosterone raging in my blood, I feel more at ease when I am in my masculinity, higher emotional strength, technical thinking, my humor, a high amount of energy and feeling creative which I use to write stories,  .... and my sexdrive again 
And sometimes being a jerk and I care far less about that when I am on the masculine side  hehe


I have answered both questions as I feel both and neither. It's not completely black and white though.

-handshakes instead of hugs
-being able to do tasks for people (clean out the gutter/lift heavy items)
-opening up doors for people
-more comfortable clothes, better pattern/color
-thinking more with the head and less with emotion
-conversations are to the point most of the time
-able to talk about sports without people being impressed

that's all i can think of right now

This is so funny HT because these are things I HATE about being a guy! I hate sports, and I want to hug, not shake hands, etc, etc.

I searched and searched for things I'll miss and I can't think of any. I'll give this more thought though.

ooooh my turn!

1. Being flat chested. Not that i am yet.... but i like to pretend.

2. being able to voice my opinion from a male point of view without being looked at funny

3. lack of girl things that happen to you every month. That really is a living nightmare

4. i can live in a dump and get away with it

5. I now have an excuse as to why i dont know how to use household appliances

6. the looks i get from teh females 

7. being able to put make-up and wear womens clothes and feel bad (as in naughty) about it because now i feel like i'm breaking a few rules

-muscles
check!
-hair that looks the same when I get up as it did when I went to bed
check!
-being treated like I have a clue at the mechanic's and by clients
I hate that one!!!!
-takes me 10 minutes to shower and get ready
takes me that long to wake up
-clothes fit and are comfortable
check!
-can pack for a two week trip in carry-on luggage
check!
-women flirting with me
check!
-guys treating me like a regular guy
nope, lots of resentment
-being able to take my shirt off when it's hot
a huge advantage!
-swim trunks are way better than women's bathing suits
I wouldn't know! Always wore shorts with a tank top.
-men's clothes are cheaper
definitely made to last longer!
-men's haircuts are cheaper and easier
cut my own hair
-no periods
ditto

All in all, about a wash for me. That's why I live in the middle.
