I identify as a female but prefer male pronouns?

Sure. This is, as they say, YOUR party. There are quite a few languages, including my own, where it's customary to use male pronouns also as gender neutral pronouns.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
