Do you consider yourself to have a certain gender?

I ask because I find people's responses interesting. Whether people feel they conform with gender roles or not.

Ah but that's not what you asked conforming to gender roles is a whole other kettle of fish.

.I can get deeply involved in books etc but I just found out today that someone my family knew has died and my mum's pretty shocked and cut up and I'm just...*shrug*

If you didn't know the member of your family that well then there's nothing un-normal about just feeling like that. My nans mum died last year but she hadn't been a part of my life at all. My Mum only recently got back into contact with her a year previous... cause before then they just didn't get on at all (My Mum moved out at 15)

Anyway everything about me is male. I have sometimes got emotional at books/films but not in the sense that I cry or anything. Just that I can feel it.

I guess so... but if you considered yourself to be more girly, wouldn't you do more girly things? (Wear girly clothes etc.)

I don't consider myself to be 'girly'.

In terms of stereotypical gender roles and attributes, no, i don't conform.

Remember we're not talking about biological sex here, rather the cultural construct that is gender. Whether you 'feel' more one gender or the other, and how you 'perform' that gender, are different questions.
