I identify myself as someone who has a mix of masculine and feminine traits. As I've said before on here, my sense of my gender identity actually floats back and forth between more masculine/male periods and more feminine/female periods. I wouldn't necessarily claim "trans" since I have no intention of transitioning into a woman full-time. I'm very comfortable with my body how it is, I have no problem with my genitals, I like how my face looks, I love my facial hair etc. I could see myself potentially adopting a more androgynous fashion sense to match this, but I'd want to really work on it to look good doing it, and build up the confidence.
That might be really confusing to a lot of people who don't necessarily "feel" gender, but that's my lived experience. It's something that's always been there for me too, even when I was a child I'd have feminine "moments" but never feel uncomfortable being seen as a boy.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
