Also exactly how I feel. I don't feel particularly female, I don't want to be male, but I have a cis-female body, so that's how I experience the world. I did dress as a boy for about 2 years between ages 8-10, but it was more that I had no interest in being female than actually wanting to be male. I suppose because it's a weak sense I don't actually think about it a great deal, and because I have an exaggeratedly female-shaped body I wear clothing designed for women. And I recognise that I'm fortunate to be in that relatively safe situation.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
