i myself don't like pink enough to even wear it for practical reasons.

Hahaa, me either.  I'm slightly dreading wearing a hot pink bridesmaid's dress in a few months.  lmao.  Hopefully Beth will still let me wear my spiked collar or my black DeathNote wristband or something to tone it down.   :laugh:

REAL MEN WEAR PINK SOCKS.    ;)

OH YEAH!! and I got a hallo kitty cap with mustace XD..
---
well when I where younger I didnt like pink, I always denyed the colour because it where "a girl colour"
and I denyed everything girly, when my mom said "boys can also wear pink" I thought it where just a dump explenation because once in a while she used to tell me stuff like that just to make me wear it..
now I actually like the pink as in bright shinning becausde I like colours, and im so happy guys fashion got more colourfull laterly..

beside did you know blue actually where considered a "girl colour" while pink where a "boy colour" back in time.

my brother told me because blue is very claim and sensetive, while pink are in famely with "red" wich is a "dramatic" colour.

I picked FTM 2.

I do some really girly crap, wearing eyeliner and sewing being only a few of them.
I'm also 100% sure and comfortable as a guy. I've like someone else posted, it kind of evens out for me, but I'll always be a semi-effeminate guy. If only because of my hobbies and whatnot.

I'm okay with that, though. I don't ever want to look like a lumberjack. My dream is the day when I can wear fitted shirts again without being terrified constantly, and wear my leather jacket comfortably. And be my weird, makeup-wearing, manly self again. I'm a friggin' contradiction, and I love it.

I agree! I blame it on my early love of Ozzy and Mr. Manson.

This poll can confuse me... as when I am not acting I am very feminine (hate getting dirty if not for show, and even then I certainly do not love it (ie: I spit that fish eyeball back out amd rinsed with soda thoroughly after making fun of a fishhand by being less of a fisherman than a woman)), I dress femininely, I am indecisive, a shopaholic even when not buying anything, a socializer, ask questions all the time and especially ones about how I did or how I look or was I okay....

But when I act I act like whatever it is I'm acting. My (very unsupportive) father made the comment "That wasn't very feminine" after I did a

YTMND - You can't break those cuffs

Acting, with a lot more power behind it than the actual thing (I always aim to do better than an original if I replicate it).

Simply: Very feminine if I am not acting in a nonfeminine role.

Addendum: I can also be very nonfeminine when I get in the mode of 'I am getting this done'. I take forever and a half to get ready... but once I'm on the job I will complete it to the best of my ability for as long as specified, and sometimes longer :P

And my best woman friend says that I am more feminine than she is

FtM, 4 (somewhat masculine). I'm not, you know... manly mans-man masculine but I I'm definitely more masculine than feminine.

Depends what it means by masculine and feminine. If masculine means into sports, beer, and sex with chicks, then I'll answer differently than if masculine means aggressive, tough, and a metalhead. If feminine means not peaceful and soft, I'm going to answer differently than it it means emotional, queer, and liking certain practical skills.

I can't define myself.  I Have no clue

I mean I don't tend towards something, I  just do and feel whatever

I am starting to learn how to define myself, so I put MtF 3.  There is a war going on inside me with my feminine self being more organized and effective in expressing her needs.  However, my feminine self is very much like my paternal grandmother and as such is a team player and an expert at compromise.  It will be interesting to see where this ends up...

Other. Looks only I'm hyper-feminine in my style and comfortably so, but because I'm detransitioning my body has a bit of a mix of masc and fem traits and some of that mix I actually really like. How I act and my interests are a very even mix. How I think my personality generally is, is quite masculine. I tend to jokingly say that I'm a "blunt mess in a dress" by which I mean I dress fancy girly but then I act a bit more like a caveman. Never before have I known that that is the contrast I need in my life.

I'd say I'm a very androgynous person all in all. So naturally I would have picked number 3, but gender wise I'm neither FtM nor MtF as I'm detransitioning FtMtF (cis woman too, but I like that tripling term to describe both my transition and my detransition, also it's a cool-looking palindrome).
Mar. 2009 - came out as ftm
Nov. 2009 - changed my name to John
Mar. 2010 - diagnosed with GID
Aug. 2010 - started T, then stopped after 1 year
Aug. 2013 - started T again, kept taking it since
Mar. 2014 - top surgery
Dec. 2014 - legal gender marker changed to male
*
Jul. 2018 - came out as cis woman and began detransition
Sep. 2018 - stopped taking T and changed my name to Laura
Oct. 2018 - got new ID-card

Medical Detransition plans: breast reconstruction surgery, change legal gender back to female.

Feminine overall but survival instincts of a "man" lol..
I'm too insecure still to stay for sure. I've been "male bodied" for the past 27+ years... I'm still not really where I want to be body wise because my upper body, specifically arms, shoulders, back and waist are broader than they should be... I know this from my eating disorder days before hrt. I was happy with my slender physique, but very unhappy with the lack of fat in (mostly) my face and butt. When I looked in the mirror and saw a very thin sickly "male" I was in horror. I knew "that" wasn' it... But I still struggled a few more years before realizing, nothing I'll do on my own will change my body...

As for mental, I don't know for sure because I've been under constant stress from gender dysphoria since male puberty... Now that my physical body is (very) slowly aligning with what it always should have been, I'm starting to understand what everyone means when they say the "fog lifted".

I'm other on this one. I'm agender and afab. So, to say I'm FtM, would be wrong. Maybe FtX? X representing non-binary people in general? I feel neither masculine nor feminine. Not androgynous or necessarily 'neutral' on it either. I'm just me. I kind of look at gendered stuff as styles in relation to me. Not that I identify with them. Like, with clothes. To me, they're just clothes with different styles. Society just separates them a certain way. I like a mix of what's considered 'gendered' activities. Like, video games, makeup, weight lifting, anime/manga/comics, dressing up, jewelry, etc. They're just fun activities to me.

I'm MtF and I am in the middle of the spectrum. On a scale from 1 to 5, I relate as a 3.

People think that I a a straight acting gay guy. Whatever that means.

Masculine through and through!
I don't understand femininity at all, I never did. It's always been an unsolved riddle. Don't get the appeal either.
