(I suppose the fact that I have a girlfriend technically makes me bi, although I've never really been inclined towards dating women outside of my girlfriend.)

It's simple really, I have a bi-gender mind, 50% male and 50% female. Physically I'm male, but my mannerisms are mostly female. This affects my personal portrayal on the net a bit: I feel uncomfy using anything male, so I use female or androgynous (if possible) avatars instead for interaction. You guessed it: I'm an online crossdresser

I still mostly like girls, mind you, but I do have friends online who crossdress or even had surgery done (yes, I did consider dating one). My wife is into such guys more than the regular ones, so she's perfectly fine with it.

I know someone else sorta like that to except they kinda like to dress it in person as well. I've met many of the like I at one time was a crossdresser but sort of just grew out of it because it just wasn't me anymore if that makes any sense. It was a self discovery sorta thing and a very interesting experience..considering a lot of guys thought I was a woman..I was very convencing lol. I was usually called mam in restaurants instead of sir at the time even though I lacked the chest.. I had an old straight man come onto me once. XD That was hilarious!

So its just online then and not a in person sort of thing? (I like your display btw, he was one of my favs in beast machines)

It's online only, yes, I don't feel the need to dress up like a girl in order to feel like one. I guess it's because I spent so much of my youth with girls, rather than with boys, that I feel more at home with women rather than with men (TF fans excepted of course). Of course, having a nick like JelZe doesn't help. To guys, it sounds girly, so they think I am one, even if the gender setting is "male"!

(I say sex instead of gender because I've always felt gender was kind of stereotypical anyway. I have my fair share of both "feminine" and "masculine" traits--though probably more male ones, as I get mistaken for being a guy online frequently--and just behave like myself, really, without worrying about which set of stereotypes I fit.)

I'm willing to try anything once. I'm definitely an Ally, though-- I seem to have an unusually high number of LGBT friends. So, yeah, rock on, LGBTransfans.

That just made me think of optimus and megatron playing guitars. XD

What you're not a guy?

I was mistaken for a girl by a female poster on here when I first singed up, about a month and many violent anime suggestions later I was asked if I think Jazz was hot, all I could answer was that I don't as I'm not a gay guy - never heard of her since.

Who in their right mind would mistake YOU for a girl? That defies all logic.

Boggles the mind right?
But she's no loner a member here I think she requested her account to be deleted after finding out that her best girlfriend on here was actually a guy.

O_O That is just weird. I've had a few girls pretend to be a guy to try to get with me lol. The whole jazz is hot thing though totally reminded me of some artwork I seen that was...homosexual dealing with transformers. XD

Could be worse... Starscream fan-girls.

Yeah, guilty. I think there's an unwritten rule somewhere that says if you're a Transformers fan-girl, you have to be obsessed with Starscream. I can say with all honesty that I got into the show because of Starscream. But we're not ALL crazy.

You mean pretty much ALL fanart? Hahaha, but let's be fair-- there's maybe one "female" transformer to every twenty "males." Who are we SUPPOSED to ship?
