I guess what I was asking was whether feminine = female. If a woman acts masculine, are they still female? Is the reason for you being female really just your societally imposed tendencies? Or is it just what's between your legs? Or is it just your genome sequence? I don't really know the answer. Which is interesting in itself, the idea that we can use such terms so often and not really have a concrete idea of what they actually mean.
Yes. Like if a woman loses her breasts to cancer, is she less of a woman? Or a woman who is barren and will never grow a child inside of her. But those women always started out in life as females. She grew up with a vagina and had her family and other loved ones condition her to become a female in the customs of their society. How would you be female without experiencing all of that? An operation won't make you female, you have to be female and think like a female.
BTW, I'm 36 years old. (You asked.) And I've been a female since I was in utero.
Do you consider a post OP tranny a woman?

I don't know the answer either. I'm suspecting it has more to do with social norms though.
I know too many people who fit into none of the traditional classifications of gender, sex, and sexual preferences.
