About male features among shemales

That's spot on!

But to confuse matters a bit more, for me, at least, her "male-features" are no longer masculine but become part of her femininity... her penis for example is no longer that of a man but part of her unique femininity as a trans*woman.

The point is that nobody knows how to explain our individual sexual orientations - neurological science is most like much closer to understand gender identification (i.e. why are some born transsexual) than sexual orientation. We seem to understand hetero, bi, and homo, so we tend to want to explain sexual orientation within this accepted framework. So when a guy exclaims his love for cock and femininity at the same time, well, then people gets a little confused... :-)

But again, you nailed it pretty much in your statement above :-)

Best wishes!

And to continue...

The point in understanding all this, I guess, is to get a common idea of the attributes that define femininity/masculinity. For me it would be face, body shape and movements. Genitalia have no real influence on my perception of gender - or do they still, but I just don't know that they do?

I've been an out-of-the-closet gynemimetophile (trans*lover) for the past six years and am still pondering the nature of my attraction to trans*women :-)

Quite often, people will obviously ask me if I'm gay, and my reply - that by the way doesn't help them much - usually is: No, I don't think so as I'm not attracted to masculinity. I just adore my woman with her hard-on...

First of all, I regard m2f ts as woman. Now you do have gender women who look more men than woman.
Myself I'm attracked to women, what attrackts me towards a shemale is her femininity. The way she moves, smiles, talks... As to features, it all depends on the person I guess. I've been attracked to shemales who have some male features, but when you look at her, she is all woman. (hope I make sense here)
