This is another one of those mad ramblings where I am just reflecting on things I have been thinking about in general concerning the transgender community. Most MtF say they are woman. Others say they wish they were woman. I am one of those people who always say I wish I was a woman. I have always questioned myself and my feelings because of that. I mean why don't I say I am a woman? Mostly I think because I look down and I see a male body and I guess just referring to myself as a male for 23 years could also be apart of it. I refereed to this in one of my much earlier blog posts and it really has been a question on my mind for some time. I guess it sometimes makes me feel like my feelings are wrong or incorrect because I say I want to be instead of I am. So I have decided to dive a little deeper into this topic.
