I've been thinking about what you said here off and on for a while today, trying to figure out how to express what goes on in my head.
Basically, I'm failing to find good words. Except that I don't generally see a gender in the mirror at all ... mostly because I seem to be wired androgyne even if I don't look it.
I'm mostly OK with that. The true-androgyne variant is a bit skinnier and significantly flatter, with slightly sharper facial features. And a couple inches taller. Otherwise, it's pretty much me.
This does mean I have some really weird issues about pregnancy and childbearing. /: Occasionally I wish I were a bit more 'normal' in that regard.
If I'd been born male? instead of female? ... I really don't know. I don't think that my personality would change substantially, though what I'm doing with my life might.
