I'm a prince and a dandy. My head-space is about 65% masculine, 28% gender neutral and 7% feminine. I have been very blessed to be born female this time around, as I don't know that I would have survived where I was reared had I been born male. I mean that literally. I'm still happily female, I have fun parts and I use my features to my advantage.
I am queer, (and to be more specific Leather Queer) and I frequently have relationships with males that are too. I've also connected with females and 9 out of 10 times, it's been from a masculine standpoint, starting before I knew that genderqueer/fluid was a gender option.
I'm frequently asked what my pronoun preference is, and beyond always defaulting to the original neutral style (they/their/theirs) I really don't care if you "he" or "she" me, as long as you never call me Ma'am, Miss, girl, Ms, Mistress or anything in that realm. I always ask that people just call me "Julian" and if they want to use an honorific, we can negotiate that. (Syr/Sir is the most common. I also use several of the "royal" terms associated with princeliness.)
At my most overweight (now) it's harder for me to pass for a boy, but "boy" is mostly where my headspace is.
