I like my body. It is strong and beautiful and the only one I'll ever have. But I don't like that it would automatically be considered a "female body" by most. I don't like that people will see me in a tank top and shorts and their brain will immediately label me as a "girl". And I don't even hate the idea of being a girl. I hate that I "am" a girl because that's what I "look like".

I don't know what I'm expecting from this thread. I don't even know if I made sense. I just wanted to get my feelings out there--maybe someone will agree with me! I guess you can just vent your own feelings about your gender if you want.

I can totally relate!
I am genderfluid and I hate the fact that I am automatically considered a girl beacause I am biologically female. Well, on the days in which I feel more "feminine" it's kinda fine, but on the other days... it bothers me.
But what can I do about it? People don't know about it and I haven't told them, and I don't feel safe enough to do it because i don't think they will understand. One thing is to say "I'm trans", and people (unless they're bigoted) understand it; but explaining being genderfluid is another story.
I am kinda lucky, in a way, because I can easily pass as a feminine-looking guy in the days I want to, because my chest is flat enough and I have Asian genes so I just look like a half-Asian feminine guy. But people who already know just see me as a girl with a "tomboyish" attitude even in those days.
