I do refer to myself as a woman because inwardly I am woman. And I refer to others their true inward gender. Mtf are she's and ftm are he's. Some though have not come into full acceptance of themselves and still refer to themselves as their birth gender or often go back and forth between referring to themselves as both he and she at various times.

I consider myself a woman and it disgusts me when I have to check the male gender box on legal documents.I sigh and just say someday.Unfortutaly some are still in conflict with there inner self and may be in denial of who they really are. Always find ways to help one another to understand themselves. All we have is each other.

I consider myself female, however that does not negate that when some look at me they see a man (Mosly family and coworkers who know me from before i started transitioning). There is also no denying that my body is still currently male. Would i admit to being male, no, would others say i am... absolutely. So in the case of that if you are looking to meet people and wishing to be square with them up front what do you tell them? In my case being full time I say female, however what if you have not begun transition? Before i started i said male. Do you know where in transition this person was at? Its hard to answer without that part.

thought of another possibilty, was a video i saw a while back a trans person gets on vid chat with poeple and bounces between male and female voices to get a reaction. Where i don't really condone the action, this person could be "trolling" just like the one in the video was. Something that struck me after my last. I guess if we knew where at in transition she is, how old, things like that it might be easier to get an idea of why. Lets face it, some of they younger ones do some strange things now a days:P

Wynd the thing is this girl was on camera and had ginormous tits. So I'd say she's pretty far in her transition her face looked female as well and she still called herself a man.

Okay, that's odd!!

yep you got me there, unless she was trying to say she is female to male? thats about all i got. I can't even begin to think what they may be thinking if FtM isn't the case :P Maybe a multiple personality thing, but that would be a whole other matter and i am getting pretty thin and reaching there. Not that it couldn't happen I just am guessing not in this case.

I am ftm,i consider myself male but i have a nickname IWantToBeAboy to explain to NON-TRANSGENDER people how i feel.Because almost EVERY cisgendered person i talked to said: you can't call yourself a boy cause you have a girl's body,it means you are a girl.So how to explain them then? I know for MYSELF i am a guy,and it doesn't matter if others think i only want to be a guy,not that i already am.It's just easier this way,to explain to people.
