What does it mean to be female or male?

Hard question.There are masculine women and men that crossdress but still identify as male.As you can see there isn't a real line for it.

You could try it out through pronouns.See if you feel more comfortable using female pronouns while feeling female and see how it feels.Since you're probably not used to them it could sound strange either way and you could experiment around with presentation a little.

 

It depends. I was born female, but identify as a gender neutral male (physically, I want to be male, but in terms of actions and behavior, I express myself androgynously)

 

It's an interesting question to ask, I'm grappling with it myself.

I can say that it bothers me when people refer to me as a guy. Basically, almost nobody ever addressed me as a girl, so when people do it these days it's definitely unsettling! So that's one of the flipside problems, I guess.

I reckon most people have their own conceptions of what's "female" and what's "male." Honestly there is such variance in the world, that I don't think I can judge what classifies or qualifies as female or male amongst us humans. I have a slightly better idea of what counts as female or male for me personally, not taking other peoples' bodies into account.
