I get told this ALOT, i was wondering when you were growing up before you come out did you ever get simler things said to you.
I always get told that im alot of caring, soft and loving then most boys my age, but what they don't know..... im not the normal teenage boy :D
I had similar to that for much of my life as well.
Not sure to the degree people thought I was not normal....but they always saw me as a very caring person and such. A few people knew there was something different about me....and many thought I was gay lol.
I wasn't really trying to look any certain way when younger (teens) but i would constantly get waitresses and waiters saying "hello ladies" when they came up to me and my mom sitting at a table. And then I would be in a store and get little kids pointing and saying really loudly "mommy! is that a boy or a girl?".
When I was between 5 and 10 -- my great grandmother owned a beauty parlour and would cut my hair when I visited. This was before the age of stylist and NO men ever went to a beauty parlour. So I was already some what not at ease, and then while cutting my hair she woulkd go on and on with the wavy little curls I had that I should have been a girl, and that kill would love to have mt curls.
DB.
By the time I reached my teens (1962) everybody already knew I was "different" but nobody knew exactly what the hell I was. By my late teens, I couldn't pass as a guy but nobody looked twice (except in a good way) as a girl.

When I was a teenager people thought I was a girl. I had hair down to my waist and wore girls jeans and tops. I got bullied a lot.
Once, in grade 8, a group of girls asked me if I was wearing panties. I wasn't, so that was weird. I've been mistaken for a girl ever since I grew my hair out cuz I'm little and effeminate. My dad always made fun of me by calling me a girl whenever I didn't do well with sport things, tool things, or when I'd get upset. My dad sure is a nice fellow. Anyways, yeah, it happened a fair bit. Oh, and now, as an adult for no reason at all I have the nickname "Prettiest Princess" and some of my friends call me "practically a girl" and they're not being mean or anything. Which is weird sort of. But yeah, that happens a lot.
