Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Hi, I'm not sure where I fit in or where I'm going. I hate being a woman, I'm frustrated with life and everything that goes with it. I like wearing mane's clothing it feels good against my body it makes me feel good like the clothes belong there. I have been a tomboy all my life but since I had my kid 14 years ago my mom has made me lock away my tomboyish side and made me feel or tried to make me feel more womanly but I feel gross wearing woman's clothes.

I loved being a tomboy. I felt... I don't know, FREE, I guess. Being a woman right now makes me feel like I exist only as a woman; if you can understand what I'm talking about. Being a woman is all I have ever known to be.

Hi Peg, it's nice to meet you! I'm confused, did you mean your Mom, or the Mom in you? Make yourself comfortable, hardly any of us bite! Hugs, Tracey

yes I meant my mom she doesn't seem to understand me even though she says she was a tomboy herself. :)

Well I told my mom today that I'm what some would call a Gender Rebel and she took it pretty well. she asked me if I was going to turn into a guy and I said no not at this time, it was weird telling her but at the same time it felt good to get it off my chest as they say. She was understanding it was like she knew but didn't want to say anything. it felt when I was pregnant with my only child like she was pressuring me to more womanly so I could be a mother to him. I can be a mother and still dress,act,and feel like a guy right?

Nice step forward, Peg! Just be yourself and you'll do great. Hugs, Tracey
