No, I hated having to be a guy. [spoiler]I had really awful gender dysphoria. It left me reeling in my bed at night (or sometimes in the school bathroom during the day.) It was just this feeling of being unable to escape from my own body while the metaphorical walls of adulthood closed in on me. I just had to look at my options and make a decision to either come out and throw away the life that my parents and teachers have been preparing me to live since I was born in the hopes that maybe something better will come, or just get it over with because I'll never be more than an approximation of a woman or a self-hating man living a false life. I decided I had nothing left to lose and I just went for it and told my parents all about my feelings in a desperate last gasp. Luckily for me, they listened and helped me.[/spoiler] I'm much happier now that I'm on the path with hormone therapy and all that. Really I just want to be a reasonably normal, functioning member of society and get on with my life. Just trying to play the cards I've been dealt and such.

  • Shark I'm honestly so happy for you. I'm happy that you're on a path to feeling more comfortable and your family was willing to help, support and love you regardless. They, from what I can see, are wonderful parents who care about the true well being of their child. I hope life continues to move up and forward for you.

    Thanks a ton, Smi. I honestly feel pretty good about myself now that things are changing and I am seeing how well HRT works for me. Not as much doom and gloom in my mind. My parents were understandably shocked but they were willing to support me beyond my best hopes.
