What does it mean to be male? (all are welcome, but specifically requesting FtM)

I didn't take it badly at the time. It was more like "OK, whatever." She was mean, though. That's probably why she was friends with my sister.

Lol, I can identify. I wouldn't touch my little sister or her friends with a 39 and a half foot pole.

Thank you all for your attention and advice.

For me, I've come to the conclusion that it isn't the female aspect that I envy, but the freedom to express femininity. There are still some latent interests of mine to actually BE female, but I am slowly categorizing my desires and most of them rest in desiring to be feminine. At the very least, I have direction now.

Again, thank you all!
