    As my profile says: gender? I don't really care. I have a bulge in my pants, I have a name typically defined as masculine (although I could imagine a girl having it as well...) and it doesn't bother me.

    I sometimes act in a way typically described as "feminine". In fact, I tend to identify with girls more than guys. The few guys I identify with are the ones who actually feel things, and aren't afraid to be happy, cry, and generally show emotion beyond the the typical manly grunt. I don't really want to be considered female, I don't want to change my name, but I really don't like the baggage associated with whatever is between your legs. I just want to feel happy, but people find it strange when I act how I want.

    Addendum: I have trouble understanding the concept of feeling uncomfortable in one's own body. In fact, I don't understand it at all. I have Asperger's disorder, which makes it very difficult to put myself in someone else's shoes, so to speak. I have always felt that changing my body to fit how I act would only be for the purpose of reaffirming gender roles. But I understand that there are people who genuinely feel uncomfortable in their own skin, so I don't question them. I wish others would stop questioning as well.
