Sorry, just saw your post AM. Have you ever considered that you might have klinefelter syndrome? I was wondering for a long time if I did, but never got tested because of my libido. I don't have the height of the average person with KS and I have enough libido for two ordinary people but have all the other symptoms.
My older brother and I are all but twins, for all that we are two years apart. He has a tiny hips though(still 30" at the age of 46), mines about 4" bigger though. The bottom of my ribs are a half to full inch narrower then my hips. The only six months he ever put on weight(wife pregnant with his first daughter) his fat went to his belly, mine goes to my butt and hips. I am still not sure if I have KS, but my sex drive makes me doubt it.
Anyway, from what you have said in this and other threads, I was just wondering.

To be perfectly honest I never even heard of it until just now.

Though I don't have the height and my hips seem normal, however I lack the "triangle shape" of a man's torso and I have incredibly small extremities (hands, feet, toes, fingers, etc.) when compared to other men of my height (5'5 or 165.1cm).

I've been told on several occasions however throughout my life that I have a "girl booty" and I walk with my hips.

I will say I meet a lot of the criteria of the syndrome however.  I struggled in school, I did not fit in with my peers (and still don't to this day), and the military was 11 years of living hell but stayed in so long only because the economy went south and I didn't want to be homeless.

The latter of that is my single largest regret.  I should have got out and transitioned over a decade ago.   Perhaps I wouldn't be the god awful mess I am now.

I've always liked guys. pre transition I was the most femme twinky gay boy ever. Tho tbh I'm going through a bit of an asexual phase atm, probably cuz of the hormones and a bit of depression. Hopefully things will pick up soon and I'll be back to being boy crazy

I liked girls before HRT. Having been on HRT for a number of years now, this hasn't changed one bit.

Glad to hear that Laura, am so scared of leaving my girlfriend just because my preferences changed, I always thought it would be harsh and unfair on her.
On the other side, she is mostly straight so yeah, we shall see what happens.

Just so you have an idea of what I'm talking about here's some photos of my hands.

My heart goes out to you. Every time I read about KS I felt like crying. The signs are so unmanly that I am sure very few people ever look int it. I fit in because of sports, my need to prove myself worthy, but it was tough. That and the fact that I took on everyone who had a problem with me and kept coming at them til I was on top. Sometimes, now that I have accepted the fact that I am a woman, I actually hope that I do have it. Not for validation, just for making me that much more of a woman. Am afraid to get checked now, I would rather believe that I have the extra X. Off to work now, but if you ever want to chat about it let me know.

My hands are almost identical, except my wrists are considerably smaller.

Er... gotta go. gonna be late

I thought I would chime in on the partner preference..
I have been on HRT since Dec 19th and I have always been hetero..
After 7 weeks or so I have basically have no sex drive really.. Love to cuddle my wife but don't need sex..
Now I kinda get frisky feeling and just want to cuddle up and go to sleep..
Not sure what the future will bring with HRT and at this point don't care just so happy to be seeing positive changes to my body..

It is okay, at this juncture I've since come to realize we all get dealt a hand (no pun intended).  You can either sit, bitch about it, and get all depressed about it; deal with it or ante up and find some way to love yourself.

Which is what transitioning is all about.  My days of self-loathing are coming to an end my only regret is not doing it sooner out of fear.

I'd love to chat.

I have to go to the doctor in a few minutes, so I'll try to make this fast. I'm a straight, heterosexual female, and when I look at a woman it's in admiration of how she wears her hair, or her shoes, how gorgeous her boyfriend is, etc. Women are fun to talk to, go shopping with and confide in....But sexually? Not in this lifetime ever again. I love men, from their wonderful, muscular bodies, that magnificent thing between their legs, the way they talk, their chivalry in walking on the street side of the sidewalk, opening doors, the feeling of, though not being dominated, being the submissive of their powerful bodies, the protection I feel I'm under, the way they kiss, and how they make me feel like a woman, a sexual, sensuous woman, and how I can fix their boo boo's, because in the end, most of them are like little boys at the same time they're men. I love 'em!

I PREFER HUMANS     

Well I Find both sexes attractive but what gets me going the most is someone who's physically stronger than I. On another note I don't think I can date a cis guy because I don't like dick lol

Nah...their too snobby.

Damn Peky!
Keep it up girl and I am going to call the phoenix to give you a couple of demerits...LOL

I'm really surprised to see all the comments.  I've been out all day and just started reading the tread about 15 minutes ago.   But this kind of jumped out at me.

And of course that is still a simplification, because romantic and sexual attraction may be different (for example, some asexual people have strong romantic attractions but no sexual attractions).....

This really is important because romantic and sexual attraction are not the same, but can completely steer to one gender, the other, or both or none.  Also could look more into it and consider social attraction as opposed to romantic or sexual attractions. After all we interact socially on different levels with women and men, so I'd assume we have preferences. 

As far as my specific attractions go I'm both romantically and sexually attracted to women.  Since I'm a woman in transition I can't imagine having a man right now, but I also wonder about what a man could do for me when I'm post op.  Although I'm still all creeped about it.  And the worst part about men is ... THEY AREN'T WOMEN.  They smell like men, they talk like men, and for the most part they treat people badly.  I absolutely love to discuss my important interests such as farming, home construction, and auto racing (or cars in general), but women and men have a different view of these activities.  And since I'm talking about my interests in new ways "as a woman", men don't listen to me much anymore, no matter how expert I am in a subject.  So screw 'em ... maybe that's a bad choice of words.  And who knows, maybe I'll change my mind in a post op world, and I'll have to "Keep one suitable man on call for sex."
 

I'm at the very begining of mtf transition I love women I love there curves , smells and there tastes I'm conserned about taking hormones wondering if I will change   Right now I do not like men. I don't want to talk to them nor am I attracted to them an any way   I don't want this to change

Well, it might. But, even if it does, chances are you will still like women too. Also, if your preferences change, you probably won't mind, because you will be the one liking it.
