Once upon a time, yes. I was young and finding my place in the world and wracked by shame, and I was trying hard to get rid of "those feelings" by ignoring them or trying to "be better" at "being a guy," whatever that means. I figured that being a guy was like golf or snowboarding or the mandolin or something, that it was a chore until you got the hang of it. Eventually I got the hang of it, more or less, and realized I was wrong.
But I always wished I could have just been born a girl without any complications about it.
