One of the things I've found hardest to resolve during my transition is that I don't really fit the mould of a 'typical transsexual.' I've always liked playing sports, chasing girls, and other 'typically masculine' activities. I've seen movies like Transamerica and Priscilla: Queen of the Desert but never quite identified with the transsexual protagonist of the story -- the whole 'woman trapped in a man's body' thing never fully explained the feelings within me.
