Abstrakt: In this article the author argues that the interplay between gender as a cultural discourse and an individual's subjective experience of gender is an important site for examination. The author here examines the subjectivities of female-bodied individuals who for a complex range of reasons do not identify as women, and nor do they aspire to be men. What comes through in each of these sections is that there are very clear notions of what women should be like and also the consequences for a woman who refuses to conform to these ideals.
