am I male or female?

I'll answer any questions you have, except directly asking me, then say what you think.

I'll start by telling you I am wearing shorts and tee-shirt, sitting on the settee, stroking the cat, drinking tea, watching friends.

Any male/female points there?

Why are some people being nasty? Get a sense of humour, why don't you.

And Chandler is my favourite character but I'm pretty sure I'm not a man Hmm

pockets - always the give away!

coldrain2018 · 12/09/2018 16:11

What point are you trying to prove?

the point is I am absolutely 100% female woman, but don't recognise myself at all in any of the definitions of "woman" that re floating around the internet these days

I am a mother, have given birth, breast fed, dealt with decades of heavy monthly bleeding, am physically weaker than men, have sacrificed my career to raising children

I don't wear feminine clothes or make up, or style my hair, or posses a uterus or ovaries ( any longer)

I am middle aged, sporty, not particularly houseproud, never had any interest in my appearance, independent, love my family and friends and job and am a perfectly happy slob

and am 100% woman

yes, I knew after I'd written it! and to be fair, some of my shorts do have pockets ( the men's ones which I buy because they are so much cheaper....)

I guessed female immediately not sue why but thanks for the game. Chandler is my fav too and I’m all woman :)

coldrain2018 · 12/09/2018 16:13

Could you write a longer post on something you have an opinion on .... suggested topics could be Brexit or older drivers

that would have been a good one!

So op I don't get what you're trying to prove,

What definition do you refer to? The Oxford English Dictionary defines a woman as an adult human female.

Do you not feel you're an adult human female?

coldrain2018 · 12/09/2018 16:15

How did you get from the hospital bed you were in this lunchtime to your settee, stroking the cat after having tea made by your son? That's a busy few hours!

a friend drove me, yes I've got some time to kill, a few weeks in fact....

Hope your op went well if that's what you've been for. Sounds like it!

Sparklyfee · 12/09/2018 16:18

The "love my family, friends and job" is quite possibly the most important thing. Man, woman, whatever Grin

But OP, do you like mashed up banana with Weetabix and hot milk?

Scatteredthoughtss · 12/09/2018 16:31

holey moley, sorry about the op, but I think you need to worry less about internet definitions!

  1. Have you or your doctor ever considered the estrogen pill for contraception?
  1. Have you ever applied a condom onto your body for contraception?
deepwatersolo · 12/09/2018 16:38

Oh, you've already given the answer away.

MuseumofInnocence · 12/09/2018 17:13

I think some here are missing the OP's point and getting a bit angry. If I understand, she was trying to say that many questions related to "gender" don't relate to her sex - i.e. gender is therefore not how we define women

WhereYouLeftIt · 12/09/2018 19:10

"am I male or female?"
Yes, absolutely, you are one of t'other.

WarmWishes · 12/09/2018 19:35

Sorry for my extreme response before, I interpreted the post as a TRA taking the mick.

FanWithoutAGuard · 12/09/2018 19:40

But OP, do you like mashed up banana with Weetabix and hot milk?

Dear God, did someone suggest that on the other thread?

Do they have teeth? What do they have against texture or crunch!

They'd have to wash that up bloody quick or it's going to be a stinky, welded on, mess.

Do you stand up when you pee?

If I was interested in playing this guessing game I'd just ask if you're male or female (against the rules - I know).
As I'm not remotely interested because a) I'm in my own living room and you're not here therefore, if you're male, you're not a threat and b) it's late, I'm tired and can't be arsed I'd just say you are a person.

Would that do?
