Was puberty a real life horror film?

[Enigma]

Umm...I've hated my body since I was 12, maybe younger.

Yes my puberty was a complete nightmare,suddenly developing a deeper voice,hair and getting those darn erections...aaarrghh!-I had always known that I was female so to have those changes occuring whilst my girlfriends were having other changes was literally hell for me-but hey ho I am having my puberty now!

For me, puberty was pain. I remember having real bad leg pains throughout my whole time growing up. Either waking up during the night or while sitting in class at school, I'd have these real bad cramps that would shoot all the way down the backs of my legs and last for a minute or two. My parents didn't have a clue and no matter how much I'd ask to have it checked out they would never take me to see a doc.

I also started to get GREAT BIG zits on my face and in other not so pleasant places.

A not so physically painful issue but did cause me great strife (and still does) was a serious change in my BO and sweat production. Even to this day I have to change my socks twice to three times a day.

That's not to include the other normal "issues" "guys" have to deal with during puberty.

Yes.
First,
I was sucked back in time by this big vortex.
Then I lost the necronomicon, and Had to Lop my hand off, because it "went bad".
Then I had to fight off some gymnast hag in the bottom of a well,
but I escaped, and told them Primatives to "listen up" and showed them my BOOM STICK!
That's right.
Shop Smart.
Shop 'S'-Mart!
You got THAT!!?
LOL
It pretty much sucked.
Therapists, School faculty, Peers, and even parents participated in the free for all.
Not pretty.

I was around twenty five before I even began to form male features. Zit's I had and didn't like it. Never had a date for fear I would botch it up and get laughed at. I was mostly a loner when ever I had the opportunity to disappear yet I was never alone. I had many imaginary friends to occupy my times. Two things I wasn't, and that was, I wasn't neither bored or lonely.

I didn't start growing a beard until I was 25 which I was quite relieved, because I could go in the bars now without being carded. Also people would stop calling me Miss. I could have passed as female all those years but I didn't know there as such a thing as GID let alone if there was any treatment and if there was, what was it?

25! Lucky girl! Mine came at 11.

Hi Nero I guess I was a bit vague on the puberty part of it. I was 13 if I recall correctly but I didn't really start maturing into any semblance to what was supposed to be my outer physical sex or gender and I was around 25 before my features started changing.

I had a big dream of having a family with lots of kids, well I met this girl that had a a really pretty little girl and next thing I know I am in love with the idea of having a family. Next thing I knew, gullible me, is I find myself standing before a preacher getting married. Never giving it a thought if I even loved the girl I married and it turned out to be a serious error. Well now speaking of going to hell in a basket on greased rails....... I will say no more the later part is another story all together.
