Oh, who cares I haven’t had serious feelings towards any other human in years. Like 15 or 16 years. Are there other ways that I might detect gender stuff for my self? I’m pretty much a guy. Input is invited…

Male.

Although back in college when I worked at the campus bookstore, I would often have girls walk up to me with an item of clothing and ask, “If you were a guy, would you wear this?” So maybe it’s not as obvious as I thought.
