WOMEN wanting to be a MAN

I am friends with two people who were born female and are now male. If they hadn’t related their stories I would have never guessed that they were once female. It is a real but rare condition of being born expressing the “wrong” sex. I know a lot more (lesbian) women who act and show as male but remain female.

Just to lighten the mood, if a woman has surgery to become a man, is that called an adadicktomey??

I’ve never had these sorts of feelings. I love being a feminine woman and I am attracted to other feminine women. I do find it interesting that I’ve gotten a lot of surprised reactions from different people of both sexes when I would clue them in that I was batting for the other team. I don’t know the statistics on how many lesbians identify as “dyke” or “femme” or whatever (for lack of better words) but I just find people’s ideas and expectations on these things interesting. It doesn’t bother me or offend me in any sort of way, but it was clear I did not match these people’s expectation of what a lesbian is “supposed” to look like.

That’s a topic that few can agree upon. There are different levels of masculinity and femininity, depending on the person. I’ve been around women who exude extremely feminine traits, and others who don’t. There are straight men who prefer either of those. I prefer a woman who’s very feminine in every detail. When I hug her, I want to walk away with traces of her perfume on my shirt.
