Ladies, one and all, I so appreciate your responses here and those that PM'd me. I do resonate with what many of you said and find it so interesting how diverse our feelings are. As Rhonda shared, I too find myself able to see myself in most labels, so I do my best to avoid them. I wouldn't label myself autosexual but it seems to simply be closest to how I currently feel, and I've worked and identify with many labels over the years: trans, poylamorous, pansexual, etc. I've read about autogynaphilia, and it sounds interesting but I have the extra dimension of realizing that, though it can add to the experience, I don't need to be in female form to experience the attraction. One thing I know is that everything changes, so if I met someone tomorrow and found them attractive I would simply be honest with them about my own gender identity and sexuality and then go from there. As Gretchen shared, this gender identity, gender presentation, sexuality spectrum(s) is complex. It certainly is a rich field for self exploration. Most importantly, at the end of the day, I just love being Nancy!
