I list as male. I've never had any real question about my gender because for me, luckily, my gender is tied to my sexuality. I'm not the most male of men, and I've got plenty of qualities our society considers feminine. The notion of being a woman for some stretch of time, and experiencing the physiological aspects of womanhood interest me, but I am aware that I would experience it from the perspective of someone who was born and raised a male, which would inherently make it a different experience than if I'd been female from the start.
I am most generally attracted to people of a female gender, but there are exceptions. To date, however, I have never been attracted to any born a member of the male sex. I keep hoping to meet a male or even a post-op female who does it for me, but it hasn't happened yet.
I consider people, including myself, poly, in much the same way that I consider people, including myself, omnivores; deviation from that state is a choice, not a matter of natural states. I'm willing to haggle about the possibility that females are primed, evolutionarily speaking, toward monogamy. But, if we take polyamory to mean "multiple simultaneous romantic attachments", I have never been presented with a compelling argument for the notion that romantic love is, unlike every other form of love, singular.
I am currently in no capital-R-Relationships. I find that, in my life, at least, good communication limits the possibility of Relationships ever being complicated.
I don't really have a preferred pronoun. I called my mom "sir". My hair is sufficiently long that I've started to get called "ma'am" by people with poor eyesight. I consider male pronouns more correct than female ones, but if someone liked using feminine pronouns and wasn't causing anyone else confusion in the process, I don't think I'd mind.
