    Thanks for helping me in the last thread (http://emptyclosets.com/forum/gende...late-your-voice-make-sound-more-feminine.html). But I have another question. Why am I so masculine, yet so desirous of being a woman? Being a woman just seems so nice and right, and I smile every time I grace the surface of it. I often wonder whether if having a female body and voice I wouldn't be seen as so particularly manly, but as the woman I am. I just want to be seen the way I know myself to be. I just want to be happy as myself, and to feel complete. I know how to be happy as a man, but I still would rather be a woman than one.

    Many women are masculine. Just because you're masculine it doesn't mean you can't be a woman.

    Gender identity and gender expression are two separate things. Perhaps your gender identity is female but your gender expression is masculine? How would you feel being perceived as a masculine woman?
