Remember that everyone creates their own assumptions based on every little aspect of you. Hair, eyes, clothing, voice, facial expressions. People need a label for everything. To make it easier for others, I tell them I am a man, to create a clear statement I am not a woman. But I am not a man, yet I want to be given the perception of masculinity, of understanding, but I do not see masculinity the same way my lover, or mother, or my local librarian would see it. If I told someone, I wish you would just call me my name, not any gender, not any ideal, then they would lose the perception of masculinity I have established. When your eyes first meet my body, you have already discovered something about me.
