After I read and understood the lectures on gender identity and sexual orientation, I can conclude

that my gender spectrum is that I am female and my gender identity is woman (mtf). My gender
expression, or how I represent myself, is that I am androgynous because I love wearing crop tops
and dresses. In short, I like wearing girly stuff, but I also like to dress up like a man. For
example, I love wearing rubber shoes instead of heels or boots, and I like oversized shirts. Well,
I think I am 75% feminine and 25% masculine. Well, my gender presentation is that I am a
woman; that’s how other people see me. Of course, my sexual attraction is that I am attracted to
men. I can’t see myself loving a person or being in a relationship with someone of my same sex.
Yes, I was attracted to people of my same sex, but it is not like I want to be in a relationship with
them; I just find them beautiful, cute, and attractive, that’s all. I am heterosexual; it’s because I
am attracted to people of my opposite sex.

I experienced being in a relationship with a man. I have been crushing on someone of my


opposite sex for six years. I can literally see myself marrying a man and having a child. When I
was a child, I didn’t like wearing girly stuff; I could go out without putting lip tint on my lips. I
didn’t care if it was pale or not, but when I got to my high school days and up until now, I loved
wearing crop tops and dresses, and I loved putting lip tint on my lips. Well, just like what I said,
I also love wearing an oversized shirt. Sometimes I borrow some of my father’s shirts and wear
them. Also, I like the smell of their perfume.

That’s all my autoethnography is all about. I am 100% sure that I am a woman, and I am
attracted to a man.
