unless you meant this as tongue in cheek, I find it intriguing that your definition of a male is someone who can be a slob in public. To me, this is the definition of a boor, whether the person behaving this way is male or female. And others have mentioned belching, scratching, or letting one rip. These are not behaviors exclusive to men. In private, everyone does these things, even women. And lots of women also enjoy downing a cold one while watching the game, or playing a good game of stud poker.
It is not the activities that determine who a person is, but how he or she feels inside. I consider myself to be a female because I feel like one and this is how I am most comfortable, even when I am shoveling snow or mowing the lawn, or caulking the shower, while wearing old baggy jeans and no makeup. If I don't do these things, no one else will. A guy living by himself will cook, do laundry, and clean the bathroom and this does not make him any less male.
There were lots of different responses in this thread. I'm assuming the people who responded they feel natural being female are transsexuals and there is no debate about their gender, no matter what habits they have or how they behave. And I imagine the reverse is true for those responding they feel comfortable being male, even though they do CDress. No debate. No ambiguity.
I am curious though ... if this is something you struggle with or cannot define for yourself, would it not be easiest to give yourself permission to live femme if you feel better engaging in all your activities presenting as one?
