I am a self proclaimed pretty boy. I am also very flambouyant. Kinda like Adam Lambert lol.

I definitely have an effeminate side.  One of my biggest fears about going on T is about not being able to show that side...especially in the small very redneck southern town I currently live in (as soon as I have the money, I'm leaving).  I like designing clothes and some of my designs are flamboyant even for females (like the hot pink leopard print jacket with black furry trim that I made.)  Females do have much more freedom to express both their masculine side and their feminine side.  I wish guys had more freedom in that area.

I've responded to your posts before, so you know I definitely am.

But I can be very masculine, all depends. At the same time, I really like clothes, and I love doing people's hair. (I went to Cosmetology.)

Generally, I like feeling the freedom to be comfortable wherever I am, whichever way I'm feeling.

In the past bunch of years I've been presenting as masculine as can be to overcompensate. Deep down inside I'm really feminine for a guy but I'm not in a position where I'm read as a guy. I guess when I'm more comfortable in my own skin I'll "un learn" everything I have been doing to myself.

I'm femme-ish, often. Genderqueer, actually. I like having highlighted hair, eyeliner, skinny jeans, good outfits, jewellery, sometimes nail polish, and occasionally crossdressing. I like fashion. Painting, writing (including poetry), dancing to girly music. I go through phases though. Mostly I'm going to cheer on the Mythbusters as they cause huge explosions, ooh and aww over gadgets and blades, and choose a horror-thriller book over something softer. But when I'm femme, I'm downright flamboyant.

I totally refuse to conform to traditional fem or masculine roles and ideas.

I am a man plain and simple.  I was born with a birth defect that needs to be corrected.

I like cooking ... love it actual...love a good based on a true story movie ...love a good pair of shoes (even if they are men's)

Does it make me less of a man.  No, it makes me who I am ... comfortable with being me - screw what society says I should be like

I don't see myself as femme at all!
Well, I'm romantic, I write poetry, my girl friends say I'm really cute and nice, but I guess you can be all those things and still be pretty masculine.
I think is about my attitude and the way I feel most of the time.
I'm not sure how to explain that, but I see me as fully male (if that is even possible, since everybody has both sides inside).

I'm an extremely femme, yet pretty masculine guy (at least according to stereotypes, really) who loves to make himself into anything that he wants to be at the moment. I can be either be a man's man or a pageant gown wearing guy depending on my mood, in other words. My weaknesses are black nail polish and Victorian era clothing (either male or female).

I think I'm in love. 

I like musical theatre and I talk to my cats in a baby voice. I never liked doing my hair before I cut it all off, though, but I do like spending money... I still see myself as a man.

Me too! But I try not to...my parents use this against me saying that there isn't a single bit of boy in me....

I don't like tools, cars or sports. I mainly like art and music. I don't see that as feminine at all.

This.

I sing, I dance, I hug, I cook, I knit,....
And I don't feel feminine doing any of it.

I think I've become a bit more femm since living full time male, before anything female was uncomfortable scary and awkward, but now as I embrace my male side, I've also discovered that I do have a bit of femininity that I like to express from time to time. Well not femininity per se - but I do enjoy some more 'feminine' activities that I completely shunned before such as cooking.

I am a lot like that, haha! I was thinking it was only me.  :'(

Nobody would ever read me as fem. I'm not graceful, I don't swish, I'm pretty rough around the edges. I have a dominant personality and I'm pretty authoritative inside my comfort zone which mostly includes "masculine" areas like computers and gaming, mechanical stuff, technology, etc. I can be pretty physically assertive, I take up space...one of the things that made it difficult for me to pass as a "normal" woman is that my body language is read as threatening or aggressive in a woman, even though it's seen as normal in a guy.

But I'm part of that silent majority of guys who are quietly feminine, to one degree or another. Just because I walk like a farmer doesn't mean I never secretly dreamed of doing ballet. Just because I look ridiculous if I try to wear fashionable clothes and makeup doesn't mean that I don't appreciate people who can pull them off. Just because the aircraft I usually worked on were made of aluminum and carbon fiber doesn't mean I didn't take great joy in crafting the perfect little airplane out of gingerbread and frosting for my niece's Christmas birthday.

If you wear your femminess on the outside, if you swish and glide and giggle and wear guyliner and major in fashion design, that's awesome. But even though there aren't a whole lot of guys who look just like you on the outside, that doesn't mean you're alone in a world of Chuck Norris clones. You'd be amazed how many guys are like me.

hey...I was looking at your avatar photo and we look alot alike! No kidding I had to double check lol.

I feel neither male or female. Sometimes it can lean in one direction more than the other, but I'm generally gender neutral. To quote one of my friends, "Your gender is sitting on the edge of a sharp blade, it's really hard to guess what gender you are."

I love that. That might be the simplest and best explanation I've heard yet, honestly.

I can be kind of femme-ish myself. I prefer straight leg or semi-skinny jeans, I'm in love with my hair, I still wear eyeliner sometimes, and that's just the physical stuff. I'm pretty sure I mentioned on another thread that I'm a cooking freak, I sew and knit, I can be a massive sap sometimes especially when animals are involved. I've always felt like I was completely a guy, though.
