Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Well... I'm 20 years old and I'm very.. sort of confused. I don't remember the point in time I didn't feel like I was born right. It was just another part of me, and something I had to hide just to avoid hassle. I've always been a slim person and up until I hit puberty I could pass very easily for a girl, there was a time all I had to do was have my hair braided and strangers would refer to me as a girl. I was never really offended, but I felt like I should have been because I was raised as a boy.

Right now, though, it's very weird for me. I don't know what to think. On one hand I feel as if I need to be a woman, and on the other I think "well im already a man might as well just stick with it" but this is not what I really want and I'm afraid if I don't express how I truly feel I'll live the rest of my life regretting not being who I want to be. I'm really just scared, I guess. I don't know what I want, but at the same time being a woman is what I really want! I'm sorry if that's confusing.. the only person I've told is my sister, who at one point kind of told me she feels as if she should have been born a boy. Weird how that worked out...

Sorry if I'm rambling.. I'm just really stressed. Well it's nice to be here and I hope to have a good experience. This is the first trans board I've been registered to.. haha.

Welcome! I wouldn't worrying about rambling hun, in no way do we mind, plus as far as ramblers go you'er not nearly the longest (notice how i didn't say worst ;)). What I'd recommend for you is to go to a gender therapist and work out your feelings to figure out if you want to do something or not, either way your welcome here hun.
