Am i normal for feeling like this?

Hi!

I'm 24, and I was born a girl. Mentally though, I don't think I am, because my brain is always telling me that my body should physically look both like a girl AND a guy, like half and half. When I look in the mirror, I feel so conflicted with how I should look. I'm not normal. I mean...I feel like everybody's normal, except for me. I feel so abnormal. I wish I felt like my physical body, but I don't... I've felt confused about myself since I was f*****g 4 years old, and I'm so sick of it.

I live with my older brother and he knows about my gender issues, but he doesn't understand AT ALL. I've tried and tried to make him understand, but he doesn't listen. He never listens to anything I have to say. He's always telling me things like, ''You need to overcome your gender issues and realize that god made you a woman, inside and out.'' Oh, and let's not forget this one, ''You're a woman, and you need to learn skills, like cooking, so that you can cook for your husband if you ever get married.'' ...F**k, he pisses me off. I'm not mad at the fact that he wants me to learn skills, no. I'm pissed at the fact he's completely ignoring the guy me. Instead, he's constantly putting me in this ''woman box'' and I don't want to be in that box. My brain will NEVER be what he wants it to be - 100% a girl - and I wish he'd just accept that fact. I just want somebody to look at me as both genders, and accept me the way I am and always will be. I doubt that'll ever happen, though...

Am I normal?

Thanks

    There are ppl out there that will be accepting of you its just not easy to find them*. I have trouble wrapping my head around gender dysphoria stuff so don't be so hard on your brother he probly doesn't get it at all.

    *Try to find local LGBT type groups in your area and get out and meet ppl. Even in that crowd every one won't be cool with you but if you try I'm sure you can find understanding ppl they are out there.

    It's okay if you act like a tomboy, not every girl has to be 100% girly. Even though I like girly girls lol
    I also like tomboys though lol

    Have no idea how you approach this, it seems like quite the internal struggle.
    But its always a good idea for females and males to learn basic skills like cooking etc.. it can actually come in handy later in life if you are hungry.
