"The bite of guilt is like the bite of a dog into a stone- it is stupidity."

I am straight, and I have no attraction to men.
Probably some people assume I am gay or have gender issues. Sometimes, people take me as female ("ma'am", "miss") when I am dressed in typical male...
Despite the training in both in academia and a clinical setting, psychiatrists and psychologists are still human.
Their perspective is informed by their own experiences, biases, and psychological...
In addition to losing weight, I suggest looking into exercise regimens that attempt to reshape the body through targeted muscular development.
For example, check out T-TAPP, which is used by some...
I've been through the entire thread, and I'm shocked that no one has mentioned Almodóvar's "The Skin I Live In".
My suggestion:
NYC: Stroll on 5th Avenue from St. Pat's Cathedral down to the Flatiron Building. Plenty of people out. No one will care how you are dressed. You will be too busy...
You are probably familiar with the Turing Test, devised by Alan Turing. It is a famous test of artificial intelligence. If a human can't tell that a dialogue with a computer is with a computer,...
I am more expressive (facial expressions, gestures, word choice) than a typical male, although I do have a deep baritone voice. I smile a lot. I have somewhat feminine body (slim, narrow...
I live on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I see men wearing women's jeans all the time. Quite a few crossdressers around here, too, and no one seems to pay much attention to them. Also, a few...
I have had quite a few women at the gym say, "I wish I had your legs/butt...what do you do?"...I don't know if they mean it sarcastically, or not. Sometime people think I'm a woman even though I'm...
To be fair to your collegues, the modern corporate environment discourages any kind of open discussion on private matters, particularly for men. They are all probably terrified that they will phrase...
Based only on my peronsal understanding of women:
Most women don't dress well to be "noticed". They dress well to increase their self-confidence, and to increase their status among other women. ...
Probably the insole was cork...
Soriya,
There are many medical issues that could result in the symptoms commonly listed on the internet for low T. Thyroid deficiency, for example. I suggest getting a full hormone and body...
I think my mother wanted a girl, but got a son as her first child, instead.
I was born in 1968, so I grew up in the 70s-80s. The early 70s was a time in which it was fashionable to dress young...
To those who have low T but choose not to treat it:
I suggest that you be careful, do research, and discuss your options with a truly open-minded, forward-thinking MD or DO. I can understand...
Thanks for your comments, everyone. The conversation here has helped me connect some dots. I've concluded that it must be my body, posture, and mannerisms that people are responding to, not my...
Why does a male risk getting gynecomastia when using Androgel or other TRTs?
It is because one of the body's regulatory mechanisms for keeping test levels in balance is the production of...
No, not playing with you. I have more respect for your time than that.
Well, I agree...I always thought I looked masculine. I've never had the guts to CD in public since I thought it would be...
Here is a picture. Thank you to everyone for your comments.

Here's another. This one seems to have confused some people......
Yes, that's what bothers me. There have been numerous occasions where I have been mistaken for female in a business setting, where it is extremely uncomfortable. One time, I was invited to a...
I seem to be mistaken for a female quite a lot when not intending it. I don't know if it's my face, body shape (natural feminine fat distribution), or mannerisms, but it seems to happen a lot, and...
