Ever since i was a little boy i knew i was born the wrong gender

I have a friend that, at the age of two, cried whenever given anything with the smallest ruffle to wear. Who in first grade, told a girl her name was John and kissed her on the cheek. She wore only guy clothes from about 7 and has had short hair forever. In home videos she walked around shirtless with shorts and enunciated in a boyish way. She played with GI Joe and Power Rangers.

Her mother always knew she should have been a he. She would cry at night wondering why, if there was a god, god would put a boy in the body of a girl. She was very accepting, a great mother indeed.

Today my friend is a man. He is a great man at that. He is a very dear friend of mine. No, his name isn't John. :)

You have to be you. If your parents won't accept you, you don't have to accept them. You are their child. It really says something about a parent who won't love you unconditionally. Whether you are their son or daughter shouldn't make a difference. You are you regardless of what they want you to be.

Good luck! Hope you do what feels right!
