I did read all of your post. I awoke at 3:30AM, much too early for me but it was good to be able to spend the time reading.
Labels. Yes they can mess with your head! We can't always fit who and what we are, quite so neatly into a little box. The planet is welcoming to all and as you have already found, many of us self-identify differently.
We can't help who we are attracted to! I look at it as almost a magnetic pull, some sort of energy field or vortex that sucks me into it's path. For me, it is also butch women. From the 1st time when I was 16 and saw this incredibly butch Varsity-jacket wearing althlete, that everyone called Phil and I literally got weak in the knees when I saw her, complete with massive butterflies in my stomach; I have had a major attraction to butches.
I posted once that I don't try to figure it out anymore. It just is. Just like the sun rises and sets. Just like I breathe in and out.
You are you, just you. You have found the right place.
Welcome
