Hello, my name is Rafael, but I would refer to myself as Rafaelle as I think that suits me better

I am twenty years old and I consider Hrt. I would like to introduce myself and tell a little bit of my story and where I am right now. Well, for almost a year I have those intrusive thoughts of becoming a girl, I am becoming increasingly annoyed by my body and feel like a girl, even though some months ago I was very 'masculine' and I felt good about it. Though one day I woke up and started feeling uncomfortable, and now I feel even more uncomfortable as every single person in my family is either homophobic or doesn't approve people that change gender. I am attracted to both genders, I am more sexually attracted to girls though, boys have to be really hot to sexually arouse me. I've decided to write here because I wanted to let it all out and speak to someone about it. I've spoken with one of my best friends, he doesn't care of any choice I take, so I am happy about that. For the moment, I am trying my best to look like a girl without being too blatant, I mean that I don't put makeup on, my eyebrows are still thick and my voice is only a little bit higher, I got some comments though by my friends that I look different and they even said that I look like a 'lesbian' which is pretty good. Well, that's about it, I won't say too much as it will take the mystery out

. I'm open for discussion if anyone wants to speak
