I feel like I'm neither a man nor a woman. I stick out from both.

Just be yourself, whatever way you are feeling, unless you find it is damaging you in someway, should be accepted. You dont have to be a certain gender, there are many types of person physically/mentally who so not fit, but this doesnt make them unhappy. Smile

Gender identity is just a sheild that many people like to hide behind to avoid having to come up with their own identity, imo.

Just be who you are Very Happy

I'm male and quite happy to identify as male, but I'm quite passive and I've been told that some of my body language behaviors seem female. I'm actually attracted to females who are a bit aggressive and assertive, which is stereotypically male behavior.

I fell the same way, I am a woman but feel somewhere in between. I also think of people as 'persons' not as 'he' or 'she'.

I believe in the future genders will dissapear. Just hard to live in a gender divided society when you feel like this.

Yeah, fertility is dropping, the Y chromosome is supposedly vanishing, etc.... IF humans lived long enough, and things continued, humanity would end up like the taelons! Seeming feminine, etc... and seeing the end of their species. BTW, that ALSO means that the likelyhood of genetic diseases would increase, so the last ones might end up really hating their lot!

So what is really so wrong about having two sexes? EACH has benefits that help to complement one another. HOPEFULLY, they will even compliment one another.

I feel that way a lot, although I still feel very feminine though.....your ponderance doesn't seem strange to me a bit.

I don't fit in with either gender though I am male.
Screw finding your identity with your gender though.

There's a difference between reproductive gender and mental gender. Most peoples' match; other peoples' don't; to some people, it's irrelevant. I'm not worried about the species dying out; all we have to maintain for that is physical gender--it doesn't matter if we all become mentally androgynous.
