Mainly I identify as a woman, but that rather ignores the fact that I was deemed to be male at birth (for fairly obvious anatomical reasons) and consequently spent a large part of my life trying to sort out what to do with my life. Thankfully I have now had the problem fixed, but as that historical me was still me I tend to describe myself as a trans woman.
