As for me, very slightly bisexual with an **overwhelming** preference for women. Also, for the record, I myself currently have a male body but identify as genderqueer. In addition to this, please state your gender here as well. 🙂 ---

Hi **Futurist110** , & welcome to the board. I’m malebodied, genderqueer, specifically gender invert. (i.e., I’m a woman). The people I’m attracted to are femalebodied and vary in their gender specificities somewhat. With some partners we’re more like two girlish people together and with some partners it’s more like the female-bodied one is the butch or top and I get to be the femme or bottom. ---
