Born a little girl

[Larisa]

I like will be shopping at target and see some little girl with their mom and should I have been born a little girl. It sometimes seems like I should have and makes me sad and other times being a boy is right to me. I've never felt fully boy once ever! Chris Crocker and jazz the transgender are inspiring to me on this. I'm glad I'm not alone in how I feel.

Yeah I wish this from time to time really the only thing I feel cheated about is I should have been a mother. But I try to look at another way so many things can go wrong in life their is no guarantee I would be alive right now had I been born a girl.
We try to look at being born a girl with some best case scenario view but just think of everything that can go wrong in life. From illness, drugs, rape, murder, I could go on and on.
But I try to look at the bright side and think of the wonderful women I am is due to the way I was born. Sure I may have not been labeled a girl at birth but I was born one nonetheless and I am grateful for the life I do have.

You are not alone, me too.

Makes it very hard to be considered one of the girls when most of your friends are girls but see you as a guy when inside your only partly a guy. Not fun!

Being a father to a girl, I have zero illusions about growing up female.  I can happily omit that part.  It's seriously overrated.

Average age for transition is somewhere between 30 and 50 depending on what source you get your info from.  Its not something that most people accept at a young age.

I did look up more in depth stuff on girl puberty and I have to say even if my girl side wishes she could have been born a little girl, girl puberty sounds hard. Being born a boy, puberty isn't hard at all. I wanted to know what I has missed.

I can see from one perspective that it would be easy to be born a girl, we'd have much more in common to talk about with our cis sisters. But knowing some of the mind games girls played in middle and high school, plus being the butt of a couple of those games, I am thankful for missing the milestones of girlhood. All the girls I knew certainly had a tougher road to adulthood than I did.

I consider this one of the two biggest issues that I need to learn to cope with better, the other being that I'll never bear my own children.

On Saturday I was picking out a Birthday card for my mom. One of the cards had a picture of a young girl with her with her mother. It took every once of willpower to keep from losing it right then and there.
