To answer the OP, no. I've never ever felt like a boy. That's why I transitioned.

I don't mean it like that, I don't feel like a boy in that sense either, thus the reason I am transitioning.  But sometimes I can't help but feel like I'm just a boy trying to hard to be the real cis girl, ill never be!

There are many times when I look at my body and don't feel feminine - I think I'm too tall (6'0"), my bones are to big, my rib cage to prominent, no ass what-so-ever, but I don't feel like a boy.  I think I've just about always felt like a girl - I just didn't know that was how girls felt.

I feel like this a lot, but mainly because I don't pass. And when I am passing, it's with suspicion. I get people testing the waters with a pronoun. They'll say "she?" and there's an audible question mark at the end.

I got someone apologizing for thinking I was a woman once. They heard my voice and then when I came around they realized their "mistake."

Somebody tryna play dumb I see.

OP. I know what you mean. We mostly feel this way when we keep getting clocked by people or when we see cis girls with their perfect bodies and such. You have to learn to be content with your body. I know, easier said than done. Just focus on the good things. On things you like about yourself. For the things you don't like, work to improve those areas.

Jen, no one is playing dum, I truly feel this way sometimes and just wanted to know if others did too. Your right bei g content with your body is easier said than done. What if you see no good things or you don't like any of yourself? Then what?

Then you remember what Nick said - that all of you are truly beautiful and unique. That each and every one of you is a girl in her own respect - no different from any cis-gendered female on this planet. That the only difference to be noted between you and the biogirls is a realization of who you are - who you're meant to be - and an appreciation for "girl-hood" that is usually taken for granted. None of you should - for one moment in time - think that you are anything but real. You, who had the courage to become who you should be, could never be "fake". You could never be just a "boy in a dress" because you aren't boys. You are girls, plain and simple. 

I think even genetic girls feel like boys at times.

which explains why alot of em stock up on makeup and clothes hair surgery etc


and men feel femminine at times too but brush it off along with their feelings.

its natural to be insecure.

everyone has male and female in them

accept it.

You know, I'm really glad you said that. I wear camo fatigues and like to do all sorts of masculine things like rough and tumble sports, but I know in my heart that I'm just an Army girl, a tomboy. You've made me feel a lot better about myself. I can be a girl who likes guns, baseball, and martial arts.

np. alot of genetic girls are tomboys, the thing with trans girls that gives them away is their face and body. i usto also think that mannerisms or the way you walk or overdoing it wit the clothes gives u away. but i was wrong

ive learned its simply just looking rougher or more masculine is what gives us away. has nothing to do with mannerisms or the walk cuz ive had some professional female actresses mimic and walk and act and talk and move around wit that insecure ->-bleeped-<- vibe and overdo the clothes and femmininty but u can still tell they are women. its really just a facial body thing. thats my opinion .

if you look like a real women u can act liker hulk hogan but people will still see a soft fem female.

I feel like an impostor sometimes, with my brow ridge, broad shoulders, and long feet. And I'm losing my feminine voice. But, I've let go of the illusion that I'll ever pass and I'm learning to not care. I wouldn't say that I ever feel like a boy per se though.
