No you are not .
This is just a way people are.
Here are a few resources that might help understand:
http://www.gires.org.uk/assets/DOH-Assets/pdf/doh-transgender-experiences.pdfStudies by reputable sources are shown there. Its also explained with pictures.
Studies have shown there are differences in brains of women and men so a mismatch is possible, developed before birth.
There are even substances known to cause a higher rate of transgender people. They are off the market now.
Also transgender people have been around in all cultures so its not a cultural thing.
The remedy is often hrt and transition, depending on what the transgender person feels they need. Most people are much more happy afterwards.
Many transgender people have the support of a gender therapist to help them along.
You might call and ask at plannedparenthood or a lgbt center for support and counseling.
And if you have a therapist you might tell them. They should help then.
You could grow your hair out ... to cover brows and forehead. This alone can make a big difference.
And its free. Just have some patience.
And you could get some womens clothes at second hand stores. With trousers for example there might be not a big difference but it can make you happy.
This could help you feel better and feel more like who you are.
Just make a few steps ... its a step by step process ... many have done this and succeeded.
Best imo would be to go to your counselor, or ask for counseling at lgbt places or plannedparenthood.
and you can ask questions here ...
and there is also a chat on susans...
many *hugs*
