Hello everyone, I have just become a new member here in the forum, I am almost 22 years old now and wanted to tell a little about me.  :)
(Before I start, i apologize for my bad english, almost all that i learned was by my self)

Sooo.. I was born as a boy, but that can't describe me at all. In my childhood i did never care of what was my gender or how I must to act to be a boy, I just did whatever a felt confortable with.

After, in my adolescence, fom 11 to 16 i think, when the guy hormones naturaly came up, like the other boys, I did find me attracted to girls (like I always did in some way), but I wondered soo much how it was to be a girl. I dressed up my mom clothes in bathroom so many times. I liked to act soft and girly but at the same time I did all that was possible to avoid been seen this way in public, (be seen as a gay was a complete shame and a reason for bullying for all the guys in my school  :embarrassed:), but sometimes a did go to school with panties under my clothes ;D. At that time I researched a lot about this things that I was feeling but did not find something usefull (May be something about the existence of feminine hormones).

In video games, I always liked to play as the girls characters or the cutest figures like Tails in Sonic Games. This preference continued till now like Ramona in Scott Pilgrin Game Series. I never liked the masculine ones, I really see they somewhat disgusting, not a thing that I wanted to become.

I remember that im my puberty I always desired that I did not develop male secondary aspects like much facial or body hair. I had luck to have far less than my male friends. In relationships, I almost always liked to be friend of everyone, but more of girls, you know, that kind of guy that you would look and say "Hey, he is her gay friend". And no, I haven't much luck with girlfriends, I had one in my entire life, and did fall in love with some.

One thing a bit odd for me is that in 90% of my dreams, since that time till now, I am a girl. Few times it's sexual oriented, but most of then are simply girly where my body a girl body or become a girl body, or I just am a girl without a reason. In various days when i did go to bed, I imagined that one day when I slept something would come transforming me and I would Wake up with a girl body. Wow that was so confortable to me. (In some I was taking care of boys as a girlfriend. What's still weird for me because I don't feel atractive by guys anyway)

During all my life i tryed to get out this feelings of me (That I wanted so much to be a girl/woman), denying and all that stuff, but it always came back even when I think that they had gone away. I wonder to feel the sensation of wear a dress, a pump shoes or a make up (I think you know how that is  :D).

Now, i am finishing the college and in the last two years my "girly" desires has become so strong to keep it in closed. Then I searched and discovered much things about the mtf world, include this forum. I found for psychologist help and did my first encounter, and will start my encounters soon.

Ohh well, basicaly this things are that stop me to try a transition to woman:
_ I fear not be a passable girl. I just want to look like a girl in all aspects, not a boy in a dress.
_ My family is far religious, and  a transgerder would be a sin against the bible, and my parents will see me as a sinner that deserves hell.
_ My friendship circles are based in church persons who will not acept me as a girl.
_ I afraid to not find a girl who would love me as I am. I am very emotive, by de way.
_ The health problems that hormones can bring to me.

As you can see, I am a bit confused right now ???, I decided to finaly write this post after a dream last night where I was a beauty princess in a long pink dress that was going back to home to assume her kingdom, pretty much like the one in the Tangled Disney movie that I watched few days ago ::) and I probably can say that I have NEVER felt better than in that dream.
In the end, it's like I am a girl inside of me, that can't see the light of the day.  :'(
Sorry for take you time.
Just one step at time :D

Welcome Luana - a very warm welcome to you.

Your experiences are not unlike many of our members here.  And you never, ever have to apologize for being yourself on this site.

Almost all of us are here because we are TG/TS, or because we are close to someone who is.  It is an understanding and welcoming environment.  I am glad you are here.  ;)

Thanks everyone, i'm glad to know that I can count on you.  ^-^
May I ask something? You that pass or is passing a mtf journey, how often you sleep and dream that you are a girl?  ::)

It has happened to me - dreaming I was fully female.  I suppose it depends on the person.  I do not identify as fully MtF, but instead, as non-binary (genderfuid).

Your question might make a good discussion topic in the Transgender Talk board.

A big warm welcome to the family! :)

In answer to your question, I for some reason have only had a few dreams where I was male. This should not happen, as I was born male and dreams are manifestations of subconscious and stressful events about things witnessed or felt in daily life. Psychologically having almost all dreams as a female should be quite impossible having lived and worked in a male body for so long. Weird, huh?  ???

Thanks for the answers, I think I'll create a topic with this question as you said Jamie D.

and Jessica, I usually don't like to think about me or look to me to much, so day by day I try to not think about me living as a boy, it feel less inconfortable about my being. I think this make possible for me to live without be a girl. And that may be reflecting in my dreams also.  :-\

Hi Luana!

Welcome to our family. This is a safe place to ask questions, read many posts, and consider how you want to go forward. I can relate to your nervousness and feeling like you can't transition. Whether you do or not, it's okay because it's what you've decided is right for you. You're not alone, we've been there, too. We're here for you so come on in and make yourself comfortable. :)

I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way

In response to dreams. I would have to say that almost in 70 - 75% of my dreams, I am female in them. It has been like that from the time I was very young. No matter what is occurring in them. With that I am shocked I don't just sleep all of the time. Dreams are odd. In my dreams, for the past several years, my parents, who have both passed away many years ago, are in a lot of them, even my dad whom I was never even close to. And in them he doesn't think or say anything of me being a female in them, as it is just how I am in them.

Welcome. :) Of all the concerns you listed about transition...we've all been there and wonder how we'll ever do it and if there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I can tell you though, there will come a time where you find the strength inside yourself to deal with the things that scare you and be the person that you are. We all find a way, you're more capable than you may believe.

Thanks, I am more confortable now with the possibility that I'm a transgender, may be I realy am. I am feeling better than when I deny it.
I want to become a girl bit a bit, I don't know how to do it, but I want, I will grown my hair and try to shave my facial hair with wax (I have weak hair), and these things  :)
