You get "beat up on" for saying stupid shit, Lek.

[Jehanne]

I am a transgender female. Even though I am a biological male, there are strangers whom I encounter who will identify me as being a biological woman. I am okay with this and do not "correct" them. My wife and I have been married for over 25 years; all five of our children were conceived while I lay on my back.

I respect your choice of lifestyles and am glad that you are happy. I still can disagree with your assertion that you are a woman. I can't get anyone here to even define what the female gender is. You say you are female. What makes you that? I don't have anything against you. I just don't agree that you are female. I get beat up on constantly here for believing I God, but I never get personally offended.

I am happy and content with the term transgender female. As for my lifestyle "choices", I was, briefly, as a teenage male to have a few instances of intercourse as most men can and do, but only with great difficulty. In my late teens, I became impotent. Try as I may in a few instances, things just "stopped working". Why, I do not know. After a period of extended loneliness, I met my current wife, and, as before, things just did not "work". We tried reversing "roles" after a few failed attempts, and five children later, that's the way things get done.

I do not believe that impotency is a lifestyle choice anymore than an individual who is having sex can decide exactly when (or if) an orgasm (first or subsequent) is going to occur. Do you disagree?

I understand your situation with intercourse and you came up with a good solution that you and your wife are happy with. What I don't understand is how this makes you a female. What are the characteristics you have that make you female? Being female is more than wanting to experience a traditional female role during sex.

I consider myself to be a female, because, that's the way I present myself, and others, on occasion, recognize me as such. Today is "skirt day", and I am at work, sitting in my office chair wearing one of my mid-calf flowered full skirts with a blue tee. In my office of 60 or so employees, I am the only biological male who wears skirts to work; some women do, others never do. And, so, I consider myself to be female, because, I identify more as a woman than I do as a man.

Whatever characteristics She associates with Her female identity... Seriously this isn't hard to understand.

Yup the attributes you apply to your female identity.

And, so, what's the issue here, if there is any still?

I am a biological male. I am sexually attracted to women. I like watching sports, etc. I have no desire to adopt any traditional female traits, but I sincerely consider myself to be a female. Am I a female?

That's for you to decide.

I am a biological male, age 55; I do not look at porn, but, over my lifetime, I've encountered it but feel no sexual attraction towards the half-naked women. For me, intimacy is mostly an emotional experience, an expression and giving of love to my spouse. I have no interest in sports and spend my evenings and weekends with my wife and children. I prefer ice skating to football and I like to attend musicals.

I consider my gender to be closer to female than male.

So, basically there is no way to fuly identify what is female or male. According to your definition there is no difference between the female and male genders because they can be anything to anybody. You can be the same full person and be either gender you want. You and I can have exactly the same characteristics , but be different genders. You've killed the whole concept of gender.
