Would this be body dysphoria?

    I am sure that someone can relate. I do not hate my body; I respect it for what it is.. a pretty good representation of my genetics. A relatively healthy house for my mind to live in.

    But I hate its one-genderedness, if that makes sense. I mentally fly the line between sexes. I do not feel 100% female as my body (well, besides being pretty flat-chested and wide-shouldered) is. But I am not considering a sex change, because I like the way that my female parts work. If anything, it'd be nice to add masculinity to it, but not at the expense of female parts.

    But I sometimes wish that I could just unzip my skin like an outfit, step out of it, and be both genders. I feel this way mainly when I find myself attracted to a guy who is 100% gay or a woman who is 100% straight, and who would never be attracted to my female form. I am married of course, and poly, so it is not like it's the end of the world or ruled-out that I can be attracted to someone. So I am, and it can never work, but still.

    Anyone relate? This is not a huge problem in life where I cannot function well because of it.. but I hate hate Hate it when people attribute "bring a girl" to me (you drive like a girl.. crap like that.) Makes my skin crawl.. not because females cannot do things as good as men (nope..) but just because it ain't 100% me!

    Sounds like you're Genderqueer.
