Not even sure how to title this one
Someone finally handed me a legitimate definition of transgendered identity, and the androgyne subgroup. But before I start insulting legitimate transgendered individuals with a misidentification I was hoping to get some insight. I am a straight male (though I've never been homophobic, despite the rest of my family's beliefs). I feel comfortable enough in the body I have not to want a surgical change, I also enjoy having long hair, and a supple physique. I haven't really cross dressed, but except for the obligatory business suit, my wardrobe is largely gender neutral (as I discovered one night when a female friend of mine tried to borrow clothing for a drag party, only to discover she still looked rather feminine in everything I had). I don't enjoy sports, or strip clubs, and get rather uncomfortable in large groups of men when they decide to do "manly things." Instead, I like to cook and bake, I've become a tea afficianto. I am famous for my appetisers and fondues among my friends. Most of my friends are female, and most of those friendships are nonsexual and I'm completely comfortable with that. I am an artist who is becoming well known in my area for my masks. Despite the fact I can outfight and outshout half the people at my school, I really would rather sit and act as mediator and peacemaker. I like to speak with a soft tone. I enjoy hugs. My grandpa used to take me out fishing and would talk about teaching me how to fix plumbing or threaten to take me hunting or other activities designed to "make a man out of me", yet I always just wanted to spend time with grandma in the kitchen or just sitting outside enjoying the hillside. I like wildflowers.
am I reading too much into things?
any insight?
