This has probably been batted around many times on this forum, but i just wanted to see what y'all say. I think i am a male, with a fem side, AND I LOVE CERTAIN LADIIES' STYLES. Not all of their styles, though.

Man.
For the most part my male/female clothes are very similar: jean, t-shirts, shorts, sandals and sneakers.
My demeanor doesn't change all that much when I put a bra, wig and makeup either.
When boiled down-man! Feminine man in many aspects but have been a man for 65 years! Learning about myself slowly on the journey! Hugs Lana Mae

Probably a mix of both
But mostly woman like over 66% woman
That is where I feel happiest and most comfortable
I am a strange combination of Batman Adam West/ Catwoman Julie Newmar Go figure. I just really like dresses, hose, and heels!

Greetings Sophisticated Ladies.
I like to keep them both separate. When I am a guy, I am a gentleman.
And I do mean that. Chivalry is not dead in my book. Especially when I am out with my lady who I love dearly.
When I am a lady, I want to look as lovely as I possibly can. Even though I am still in the closet with what I do with the exception of going to a service. I like to be as beautiful, curvy and as statuesque as I can. You have no choice when you are 6'2".
I do enjoy my female persona and hopefully one day show her to the world. But for now baby steps.
Thanks for listening.
Please call me Kiddy!

KPhenil, You sound like me. I work to be a gentleman, open doors, polite, etc, in guy mode which is the vast majority of my time, but at six foot five and a half, a statuesque but mostly modest amazon lady, when dolled up, and when i have the nerve to go out occasionally far from where i live. I dressup, also to resemble the type of lady, and style i would like in a mate. But, at 63, and no dating prospects, I ALMOST become the lady i long for.

I was going to say " Well it depends who is on top " but thought that may have been inappropriate.
So I'll pick Woman (with male bits), Maybe that means both? But if I have male bits I'm a Male!
Now I'm even questioning if I want to be the Woman in a Bi relationship? and that wasn't even the question!
Too much confusion and way too much information!
Just Blurt it out Stacy!
STOP, Well I just dance the way I feel
Stop breathing imagine none of this is real
Well I just dance the way I feel

Man who likes to be feminine,but I really love the clothes.
It took me sometime Alice to come up with an exact definition of this part of me but I finally think I understand I'm gender fluid, and I do put myself under the transgendered umbrella.
In many ways it is more then just the clothes because I just so enjoy expressing myself when dressed that's why I knew I just couldn't hide behind closed doors anymore and now I go out about twice a week en fem
Leigh, Thanks for sharing this. I kind of feel that way, too. I greatly enjoy expressing the lady, when all dressed. Not at all when in man clothes. I believe men are very stifles, kind of straight jacketed, in dress, while with women, "the sky is the limit.". But, as a complex being, i also like to dress nice in guy things. But, when i am all dooled up, i really have an exhibitionist side, and on the rare times i do go out, as a super tall (over six footeight in heels) lady, it is such a thrill.
John Wayne and Julie Newmar is a good combo.
for me its
mixed gender .
I can present as either masculine or feminine .
No matter which way I dress , I am still the same person inside . A little too much male and a little too much female to be exactly either . Its not to be confused as androgynous .
For outside appearance , if its male mode its all the way male and if its female mode its all the way female mode .
It's not about the clothes...they are more like a trigger and reminder. It doesn't take much, just a hint of lipstick sometimes, a reminder to myself that it's ok to be feminine. I'm a man with a strong feminine side.
In grammar school, the teachers would sometimes line up all the boys on one side and girls on the other, and with the slightest bit of dressing, like magic, I find myself transported to the girl's line, full of empathy and awareness of all the woman around me. I love being on the girls' side of the room, so I do things to remind me that I have a place there where I belong.
I thought half the reason most of us were here was because we don't conform to the gender binary.
At heart I am a woman who unfortunately has to present as a man.
Well if money and health risks was no concern, and especially if I had started a lot younger, I might have gone the transition route and gone full female, and not been part of the group you're asking to reply. But starting in my 50's, and with no way to afford a full transition, and the health risks at my age, I've become resigned to just being a 'part time girl'. I seriously doubt transition is in my future, because I can't afford it and I'm not sure the health risks are worth it, at my age. If I was suddenly able to afford all the expenses, and had a Partner who would stay with me through transition and enjoy me as a full-time female, I might revise where I stand regarding my possible transition. But for now, I think I'll continue with a foot in each world. I don't think either my male or female aspects will be going away any time soon, and I don't tend to go for a fully-mixed, androgynous presentation.
I think that mentally, I have strong aspects of both gender identities. Clothes help mold the identity and reinforce it, but they are not the end goal or the trigger, for me.
I can, quite happily, operate in an entirely female mode, and my personality and actions are somewhat different than me as a male. I identify as female when I go out as a woman in public. The clothes are fun and pretty and help complete the illusion of a full transition, but more and more I find myself happy to present as female while wearing less dramatically feminine attire. When I started, it was 'skirts only' for me when I went out, unless the venue was very much not a 'skirts' kind of place. Now? I'm quite likely to go with just women's jeans and a nice blouse or even a t-shirt, like many of my lesbian lady friends choose to wear. I like lots of clothes and shoes for the same reason any lady does. They are pretty, they look good on me, and they give me a choice in my wardrobe.
Yet I can also quite happily exist as a male. I do tend to keep certain feminine traits, but it doesn't feel uncomfortable for me to be perceived as a male. And in male mode, that is what I am - a guy. Even if I am wearing women's jeans and sneakers and have women's panties on, if I am not presenting female, complete with boobs and long hair and makeup, I don't feel I am female
For me, it's like flipping a switch, and placing a different operator in change. It's still 'me', yet the rules and choices differ.

I like to think that I have the best of both worlds now.
Im 60-40 man in my opinion and hads nothing to do with the clothes that said I Have no interest in tracking transitioning...
No regrets except I should have got dressed & stepped out sooner.
Really deep question for me, and a good one. I am working on that from a Spiritual perspective. Can't discuss here though.
I'm a man, though hardly an 'alpha male'. I like to dress as a woman and emulate women as closely as possible. I have a few times (and would love to do again ) spent an entire week or more dressed, and did not want it to end. And, as I get older the desire to dress is increasing. Where that puts me on any kind of scale I really don't know.
Here today, gone tomorrow....
I am both. I love expressing my feminine side as well as the masculine side.
Part Time Girl
As I have said in many posts, I view myself as transgender. When I say that, I mean that I'm not cisgender & not totally female either, somewhere in between perhaps. I have not transitioned. I probably never will but who knows? Is it the clothes? Yes to a large degree. Dressing makes me happy. I really like being feminine. What more can I say?
I'm a man and I've never had any doubts about that.
For me it's all about the clothes.
When I dress I want to be as feminine as possible.
I am a man. 100%. I am only attracted to women, their shape, their looks and their clothing. I just have this one little kink and that is that I love to dress up as a woman from time to time particularly enjoying all of the silky satiny things that women get to wear.
