    Cuz I don't like the shape showing. I just don't like my boobs. But I don't feel like I have to have top surgery. I guess I'm...tomboy?

    Not liking your boobs doesn't have to mean anything, you just don't like your boobs!
    Anything else you could tell us in order to help you figure things out? :slight_smile:

    Yeah. There's loads of lesbians who wear binders. And loads of women who hate their breasts. That and your sexuality (liking women) doesn't mean you're a guy- just someone who's attracted to women and prefers to have a flat chest.

    If you identify as female and you're attracted to women, then yes. You're probably a lesbian.

    Now, if you identified as male, then you'd be a straight man. But since you've said you don't have any desire to transition and you don't seem to experience dysphoria (not counting disliking your chest) then I'd be inclined to say you're probably not a transsexual.

    But seriously. Details. Why are you questioning? What else have you noticed?

    You seem like a tomboy - I know a lot of lesbians who bind their chests and act/dress/etc pretty masculine, but don't want to transition and are perfectly fine with being female. They're often referred to as 'studs' I think.
