> I'm fairly sure Jessica will just apply common sense though and would put me somewhere below full (trans-)women but above cisgendered men as far as priority goes, which would make sense.

Why? If anything, a heterosexual man would be more likely to benefit from a conference for female founders because his SO is a founder or wants to start a company.

(Not trying to start a flame war — I just can't see the difference between a bisexual man, a homosexual man and a heterosexual man in this context.)

The key part there is 'gender-dysphoric' which basically my identity lies somewhere in the middle between male and female.

That basically means that while I don't feel like I'm in the wrong body, I do prefer (to some degree) to socially act and be treated as a woman.

Sorry, I'd missed that. I had seen 'gender-dysphoric' before but didn't know the meaning of dysphoria and hadn't looked it up.
