    ok, after a few decades in the closet I am trying to figure myself out.

    When I was around 8, I remember desperately wishing I was a boy so that I could tell my best friend (f) that I loved her. Throughout my life there have been times where I feel like I should have been born with a penis. When I'm handling my own "business" (watching porn, etc) I wish I was the man f'ing the girl.

    HOWEVER.... I have recently embraced my girly side. Hair, makeup, nails, etc. I still love my tshirts and ball caps, but I am equally comfortably in slacks and a blouse or even *gasp* a dress lol

    I am a veteran, so I know I have picked up some masculine traits here and there but I'm not sure I would define myself as masculine... yet (other than the makeup/hair/etc) I'm not the dainty little feminine either. I can pull off either if the situation calls for it.

    I do NOT want to change gender. I was born a woman, I have 6 children, but I am not 'straight', I am polyromantic but borderline asexual... I know that much...just not sure how I would describe my 'gender' with the whole wishing i had a penis so I could *ahem* women...

    Thoughts? Did any of that make sense?

    Hmm...you sound like you are cis to me. Gender identity has nothing to do with sexual preferences and nothing to do with gender expression.
