Tomboys, and my weird intuition

Along with the vibe I get from people when I read their words, is a feel of what their gender is, and it's accurate most of the time, except with women who grew up as tomboys. These people feel masculine to me. I experience this most often with INFP and INTJ women who are Tomboys, but I haven't spent enough time reading the words of women who are INTP that were Tomboys, they may be this way too. The same applies with extroverts that were Tomboys. I haven't read enough posts by extroverts to make a determination.

But what is really weird is when IM'ing with women who were Tomboys, because the conversation becomes more casual, and I have to keep reminding myself that the person on the other side of the words I am reading is female because her vibe feels masculine, and with INFP Tomboy Women her vibe feels like she is another of me. So when she mentions things like having trouble hitting the right keys because her finger nails are too long, or whatever, I go through a bit of cognizant dissonance, until I remind myself that this person is a woman, not really another of me.

Another contributor could be because I am less masculine than most men. I forget this sometimes, God knows how, with the way this was brought to my attention so often growing up, but I do forget this now and then. Maybe my intuition isn't really mispeaking when encountering posts by Tomboys.

So far I am the only soul I know who experiences this. No one else has replied to my inquiries in this area to tell me, "I know how you feel". Oh well, maybe someday.
