    Thanks everyone for your feedback. It looks like it's a mixed bag from what I can tell. I feel a little more at ease.

    I dont think that its a little off. I relate really well with girls, but my biological gender is male. I just find it easier to hang out with them, and talk to them about different things.

    I hang out with guys a lot, but in terms of problems and issues, girls are better to talk to.

    Depends heavily on the individual, more than the gender. In all honesty, the more heavily gender comes into play, the harder it is for me to relate. I tend not to relate to very masculine or very feminine people.

    When it comes to hobbies, usually guys. Conversation-wise, a lot of my interactions tend to be deeper and longer-lasting with girls. Then again, it's up to the individual, though I tend to get along better with trans, non-binary, and gender-variant folk more so than uber traditional types who think "real men/women are/do this and that". It's slightly harder for me to get along with very feminine or masculine men and women, but they're fine in small doses.

    Hmmm...I'm not sure. I think it depends on the person rather than their gender. Haven't had much experience relating to others though since dealing with the change in how I perceive myself in terms of my gender.

    I relate more to girls and feel safer around them. I have had bad experiences with straight men and while not all straight men are bad or not to be trusted the ones i have been around had a tendency to be very misogynistic or homophobic.

    I totally agree with what you said about girls. i understand them more and even when i was little they were more kind to me than boys were and yes boys are very confusing and they can be gross too.

    this is pretty much me as well.

    same here. i love girl talk and girls have more compassion and understanding of life situations.

    I think I relate more to girls when it comes to emotional states, opinions on relationships, and just communicating on an intuitive level. Sometimes, ya just wanna "rock out". And actually, some girls can do that too. And they're still not as empty-headed as guys tend to be. The guys who are intelligent are often stiff and boring. But not always. So really, as most people said, it depends on the person, not their gender. I guess you could say I relate to people who tend to be more kind-hearted and introverted.

    I relate more to girls. Even though I'm not actually a girl, I'm read as female about 95% of the time, although I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.

    Neither... I can hardly relate to anyone, and I see no gender correlation in who I can relate to...

    It's hard for me to interact with both. I feel more comfortable around girls though and some guys think I am being rude or cold with them, no idea why they think/say that.

    Toughie. Have to say girls, but also some aspects are shared with boys.

    To me, girls are easier to talk to but when I do connect with a guy is usually a deeper connection. So basically I have more girl friends than guy friends but I'm bit closer to my guy friends than my girl friends (with a few exceptions).

    FtM here. I go to an all girls school so I can't really say for sure but I think I would relate better to guys. Almost all of my friends are girls though

    Most of my friends are boys, so probably the males. But I can't stand talking to them about issues of gender.

    If we're talking, relating on a deep and meaningful level- then it's usually girls. I was brought up as a girl so I can relate to the same experiences, etc and really connect with girls.
    With guys, it's mostly a bro/friendship where things don't get too deep/convos are mostly jokes.

    Overall though it really depends on the individual guy or girl and how well we know each other.
