    I am curious about something.
    I am a super butch lesbian who is pretty manly.
    Okay, VERY manly.
    I wear the clothes, I play the part, I smell like it, and I love girls.
    I am pretty strong too, its just hard to see XD.
    Anyway, I'm not sure if I could be a bear.
    I am fully aware it is primarily for men, but I'm curious if women can get in.
    In a relationship, I am the dominant one.
    I am a woman, but looks a lot like a man.
    So, am I a bear or what am I?

    I think gay guys call guys bears because of body hair.

    in regards to your question hope this helps

    the main thing that makes the bear community is the attraction to big hairy men, so if that's what you like you would fit that category, or if your a big hairy man interested in men.

    but honestly from what you have wrote I would say you are probably

    butch - woman usually lesbian likes to be the dominant partner more masculine tendency's but still enjoys her female parts

    stone butch - woman usually does not see her self as female, but male likes to be the dominant partner mostly masculine tendency's does not enjoy her female parts, usually prefers to be untouched

    tg butch - woman who wishes to be a man, will live and dress as male and pursue the gender change

    there are many other little additional categories based on preference when it comes down to it, but these are the general ones

    hope this helps you a bit

    Isn't the bear community strictly a gay man thing?

    I do see myself as female, and I enjoy my female parts. I just act super male and enjoy those parts about me. I am female, but not the most cisgendered appearing XD, but I like being a girl. You live longer anyway ^^

    I think this link might be the answer to your questions. Out of curiosity awhile ago, I remember reading about bear culture on Wiki and stumbled upon this, haha.

    So, I would be an ursala? Something like that?
    I would think the bear community would be one of burly, strong and hairy LGBT's. From what I read, don't you think?
    I also read on some other terms on the bear community. I think I would be an ursala wolf.
    Since I am smaller but still dominant.
    what do you guys think?
