about something I don't understand. I read an article about hormones and how they affect how I act and how I feel. The article was for straight people and confused me alot.

The stereotypical estrogen traits are gentleness, compassion, patience, helpfulness, nuturing and submissiveness.
The stereotypical testosterone traits are independence, assertiveness, competitiveness, protectivenes and toughness.

When I read those traits, I think, God help me, I'm a girl. The only male trait I really have is protectiveness. I use the others like toughness and assertiveness in real life to hide who I am. How does this work? Am I destined to have like gay PMS or what? Do you have truly "gay" moments or is it just me? Please don't laugh at this cause I've been having some bad stuff lately and I can't ask anyone else.
