Growing a beard my age requires a miracle, and my style of clothing is pretty standard, though maybe I look a bit more messy than my peers. My music taste includes both metal and emo. My conclusion? I don't know, but I don't really care either.

Well, I'm a girl, but I have a pixie cut and don't really like high heels or skits/dresses (unless they have pockets, then they're fine). I really like sneakers, but that could be because I have flat feet and joint issues. I like the more "masculine" disciplines like math and science as opposed to history. But I like literature and music, so there's that. In general I'm of the opinion that function trumps form, but that form is important too. I like cooking. I like wearing fancy winged eyeliner. I like sewing. I don't like carrying purses. I'm assertive when it comes to stating my opinion.
Why are some things considered more masculine or feminine, though? I mean, I've been mistaken for a boy before (only briefly though, because my figure is DEFINITELY feminine), probably because people see short hair and automatically assume short hair=boy. But I don't feel less female because I do some things that aren't "feminine". I think the idea that certain behaviors are masculine or feminine is kind of pointless because it's so dependent upon culture. |

I've always had an androgynous body type. I'd like to put on a good 15 pounds or so though, mostly to fill out upper body a bit as it's kinda of disproportional to the rest of me. Mentally, I guess by cliche American standards I waver back and forth. I've never cared about being considered masculine, feminine, or anything else really. I am me and if anyone has a problem with that they can suck it.

I'd say that I'm decidedly more feminine than masculine. I like having my long hair; I like makeup and cute things and handbags. Then again I've also been known to chill a lot more comfortably with dudes (they don't mind my twisted sense of humor and often times they seem to have a better taste in music, film, art, and everything else).
I don't really follow the typical gender norms for women (for instance, I have no interest in having kids or going into any profession that's seen as "typical" for women - I don't find any pleasure in romantic comedies, "chick flicks", manicures/pedicures, and I don't have a ton of girl friends) but I do identify as a cissexual female. My sexuality, of course, is a completely different matter.

When I was trimming my beard today, one of the blades of my clippers broke in half. So I guess my answer would be masculine with some feminine crossovers (i.e. grooming).

I'd venture closer to the masculine side. My hobbies consist of masculine hobbies. I can literally shave and have a beard about an hour later. I probably need to get in touch with my feminine side a bit more, but I have time to do so.
