I've not come out yet, so I'm not sure. They'll probably say that, though. I come from a hugely homophobic and transphobic town, so I'm not sure how to approach my parents with this news.

Similarly, I have a picture of me receiving a Spice Girls toy at my birthday party and giving the look of disapproval.

Dude.. You had a Spice Girls toy? That band was poppin'; I have a few dolls of it.

I have yet to come out, but when I was young I was feminine. Aside from my hatred of all things pink I was somewhat girly. I have over a hundred dolls, mostly Barbie, played with girls toys, and I wore dresses quite often (not casually though); I used to wear two-pieces as a toddler, before switching to one pieces.

Currently I'm still quite girly. All my masculinity, it rarely shows aside from the fact all my friends are boys and that I know a lot about gaming and cartoons.

Heck, I remember when I was four or so I had a Barbie birthday party. Barbie's everywhere, and I loved it. My bike was bright pink and purple with streamers, and it was awesome.
I had my fair share of masculine toys, but I've recently gotten into toys and that's almost all I like (boy toys).

I came out to my mum today and she told me this ("no signs"). She won't believe until she hears what the doctor has to say, which is fine, but I'm getting this irrational feel that the doctor is gonna tell me that I'm just confused because I didn't show signs at 3 years old. Cause I dunno what I would do if that happened.

Are you talking about a head doc or a medical doc?

Some guys just don't show any obvious signs or even go through the "I wish I were a boy" stage. Remember that if anybody gives you any guff.

I think the signs for myself personally were that I was so anti-male.  I fought so hard against my male tendencies and wanting to be male that the battle alone is the sign that I am transgendered.  I tried to prove so hard to the world that I was female that it verges on the unreal.  Knowing the whole time that inside I was not really girl and only pretending to be one on the outside.  I went as far as having implants and a nose job, dying my hair blonde, manicures, pedicures, make up galore, wearing tight revealing clothing.  I am still not out and still have the implants but my hair is my normal hair now, I don't wear make up, wear shirts and jeans, etc.  I know guys can wear make up and stuff and once i transition I am sure I will but right now I am just trying to become more comfortable with my male self and trying to bring my inner male out and not conforming.  does that make sense?

thanks guys..
Arch I haven't been to the doctor yet, my first appointment is on the 5th next month. I'm gonna be talking to a sexologist and psychologist I think.
