Hello. I am physically female and 18 years old. However, I may identify as an androgyne leaning toward male. I am currently trying to get more masculine clothes, and possibly make more of a transition soon after (as in cutting my hair, so on, although I do surprisingly like my long hair). However, I still live with my parents, and I am not sure when exactly I will be able to move out entirely and support myself. That could take a couple more years, unfortunately, and thus it is difficult to get my parents to understand.
The other concern I have is that this is just a phase, although my want to make a transition has lasted about a year now so far...and I have always wanted to be male, or preferred interacting with males. In sex-ed, I would always feel a longing when males were mentioned or "hermaphrodites". They would talk about the male sex organs, and I would feel that I should have them, not female sex organs....or both at very least. Although I am not so sure I want to go ahead and have a sex change...it's almost as if I just wish I were born that way (male).
My interests include, science, psychology, the supernatural, spiritual, and I am a big Cher fan.
Hoping to get some good support,
