Is here someone else who don't want to be "opposite gender" as a child?

Hi
I want to ask if my experience is so uncommon or is it common.
I was very famine boy, have girly interests and behavior, even look like a girl
But when someone ask me I say I'm boy and when someone cell me girl I was sad or even cry (very boyish)
Change was at puberty when I want to become girl for sexual reason - then I become interested in occultism to make some magic body swap with girl

I didn't want to be a boy, persay, but I did a lot of boyish things and thought that they were normal. I wanted to be equal to boys and be able to do what they do, but I think at that age the thought of a change like that was just too immense to comprehend. When I was a teenager, about 14, I legitimately wanted it, however I was very forward and flaunting with my female body in my puberty/ hormonal stage, though that speaks more for the culturally instated fear that boys wont otherwise like you.

I could pass for a girl, with the right clothes, until I reached my late teens.

Was a terrible time. Hope met reality.

I knew that I wanted to dress as a girl if I could but I never took my thoughts seriously.  Didn't really do anything to dress up till teen years and that was very very private.  Was a total homophobe through high school.

But now that i am older I am very much enlightened to myself and have outgrown all the silly negative, and judgemental thoughts and took the time to figure out where the real "I am" is and now life is much better for me in that regard.  But also now I see people for who they are and not what and that has helped me come to a lot of terms with myself. 

Sometimes I find it amazing just how much one can grow throughout a lifetime.  I know when I look back at the person I was compared to now and I am amazed I have survived through it all with my sanity.  Now I know I want to be the opposite gender and I am comfortable with that and looking forward to the time when I can do so.

It's common. Just because you cried for being called a girl doesn't mean you didn't want to be a girl. It can mean that you didn't want to be associated with all the negative stigma that comes with being called a girl. For example, a transgender woman would take it as a compliment to be called a lovely lady, but that doesn't mean she's fine with being called a ->-bleeped-<-got or even a "woman" by someone who means it in a bad way.

i remember when I decided to really think about the whole TG thing, I thought I was crazy. I thought I was just very butch. I dated women and sort of feared males because I encountered perverts a few times. Then I realized.. I am a freak. Now I am trying to hide but it's no use.. I know who I am, and like it or not, I'm stuck. Being raised in a conservative fam also affects this too, because I was forbidden to dress as a boy. So I never really gave it any thought. I thought I was doing something wrong and didn't know what being gay or anything meant. I remember being really young and a show came on about a TG person. My mom realized that I was saying "I want that, too!". It was about a FtM. She turned the cable service off that day.
