What is your gender identity?

[Camille58S]

Yes! I feel exactly the same way, Lori! When I first responded to this thread, I still felt that I was male... mainly. But, my journey this year has changed my thinking. I think and respond to the world differently now. There is still a male element to myself. But it is no longer in control. It got absorbed into who I am now. I hope that I'm making sense here. It's hard to explain. I don't get angry anymore. That emotion has been replaced with empathy. I move differently. Slower, more gracefully. I can't say that I am a woman now. I spent my life as a male. I feel that the most honest answer to the gender question is that I am a trans woman.

My gender identity is female.  If pressed, I will admit to being trans-female.  And, if pressed harder, I will admit that my femaleness is probably not 100% binary.  Close to it, though: I am much closer to being binary female than to any variety of non-binary.

My sex (meaning the configuration of my genitals) has changed, thanks to the good surgeon.  And my paperwork has changed to match.  My gender identity has not changed.  I now understand that I have always been female, since at least as far back as I can remember, and likely back to before I was born.  They told me that I was male, but they were wrong.

The only way to know that I am trans is the style of clothing I wear (only because I haven't come out yet to my family), my hair length and my genitals... and I plan to remedy all of them in the near future.
