Hi

I'm a female, (physical body). prefer to dress as a guy, male hairstyle and am attracted to women.
Need some help and advice on what to call my gender identity and orientation.

Thanks

Try "Gynotropic Female".

"Butch, Cross-Dressing Lesbian" might also work, but it doesn't have the properly sophisticated ambience about it.

"Person" works best in any situation, though.

Butch Lesbian, I suppose..?

Do you prefer to be thought of as a man, or does it not bother you?

I'm still voting for "person", but what do I know?

I could be wrong, but as I understand the terms, transgender means you identify with the gender opposite your biology while transvestite means you simply prefer to dress as the gender opposite your biology (and identity). In this instance, that would make the sexuality question simpler (in terms of labeling).

Actually transgender is a wide term to call anyone who doesn't identify with his/her gender stereotype. Transgender term includes transsexuals (that identify with the gender opposite their biology) but also a wide range of gender-neutrals or third gender people (those who don't identify with any gender).
