Ever feel like a fraud?

[Tori08]

Does anyone else ever feel like this? I mean one day I go from being 100% positive that I'm transsexual/transgender/whatever, then the next day I just feel like some fake who is dressing in women's clothes for attention...

I guess what I'm getting at here is after being harassed by my mother, is it typical to feel these periods of extreme doubt?  I'm pretransition with pretty solid plans to start hormones in April-ish.  Does everyone have doubts like this? Do they get better with time? Or do they stay the same, even after all is said and done?

All I know is that I'm depressed with how I look, feel, with what's between my legs and how society acts towards me because of what's between my legs...so what? Am I just a normal teen?  What the @#$! is wrong with me?

My advice is go see a qualified gender therapist. Take your time and make sure your a girl. Everyone has doubt from time to time-thats normal. As far as feeling the way you describe, this is not typical teenage boy thoughts and behavior!

Yes. I certainly feel like a fraud at times. Take your time to figure it out, and it should get better. It has for me, at least.

You should never EVER feel like a transsexual , your either male or female.

I use to, tell i realized what stealth meant.  To blend in, to be invisible.  I am just another woman.  And I don't feel like a fraud.  To be a fraud means to not be a woman.

How can we be a fraud if we are being true to ourselves.
