Is it normal to be transgender?

i felt like this my whole life, i was born with a vagina but i felt like i didnl't belong with the other girls my age. growing up i mostly hung around guys, playing footy and other things that would be considered 'manly'.

i was usually just brushed of as a tomboy in primary school, and my mother always tried to make me act more feminine by telling me to put on dresses, makeup etc but i felt like that was wrong.

when i was around 14 i discovered the word transgender, and decided i was one. i told my parents but they didn't seem very keen, my mother told me she would abandon me if i transformed but i don't care.

i've been referring to myself as he/him for around a year now and have gone by a different name and it feels so right.

i'll be taking testosterone next year to fully start my transition and saving up some money to get top surgery so i wont have those annoying boobs anymore. not sure if i want to get bottom surgery, heard its painful and has some risks to it. don't really think its worth it tbh since it wouldn't be a real dick, just a fake one. i really wish i was born with a dick, i fucking hate my body

  • Just basing my comment on the title as I can't be assed reading this all as I'm pretty wrecked. No, being transgender isn't normal but just because it's not normal doesn't mean that it's "wrong" or "bad".

    So don't worry about it. Be who you want to be, and being transgender isn't a bad thing. :)

    No, it's not normal. I don't really understand or agree with it but it's not in my place to say whether or not it's right or wrong.

    • I respect your opinion, I know some people wont understand it but it's just how I feel. I actually tried ignorin it and acting more feminine but it led to depression and suicidel thoughts

    • Thanks, I know some people might not agree and find it weird, but I can't help how I feel. I've actually tried ignoring it and tried to act more girly a few years back, but it led to depression and suicidele thoughts. I hope I get to live a better life when I transition though

    Have you consider that there could be something wrong with your brain?

    • Nope, I've been to both a psychologist and psychiatrist and have told them about it, they said if I really want to go ahead with it I should but think carefully since the changes are irraversable

        Think carefully about it?

        Most medical doctors won't even touch your... problem until you've not only met with and had extensive therapy with a psychological professional, but also require you to live at least 2 years as the gender you want to be.

        This last part is what it takes to convince most people that the grass in fact is not greener on the other side. Both have their pros and cons.

        In general I don't have all that much compassion for the transgendered, oh, don't like how you were born? Get in fucking line. Imagine the midget that wants to play professional basketball, or any sport really, how bad must that suck? People born black into a racist culture, good luck changing yourself or society. On and on and on and on, and transgendered people go around all whiny about their "problem" which actually isn't a problem. Accept who you are like the rest of us.

    Just be yourself and buy a strap on dick and use that when your wanting to have sex with a guy or girl. They will like it either way.
    And remember its your life so enjoy every minute of it.

    Only you can know what's right for you with respect towards your body and how you choose to maintain, use, change, and enjoy it. And only you can know whats the best approach for you to take towards living your life in a way that is both comfortable and appealing to you. While most of us don't feel uncomfortable in our body in the way you may feel everybody knows that everybody is just who they are and even if one cant understand what motivates another person to handle their life as they do, its quite a waste of time to try and wonder why someone else does what they do, and much more a waste of time to try and get them to not do what they do, especially when it is of no concern to anyone else how you choose to use your body and how you choose to approach the world or what clothes you wear or how you cut your hair. Whats important is that you not only be who you are, but do it as honestly as you can. While you may have to endure the words of the busybody with nothing better to do than try and get daily updates on what your private parts have been up to privately then try and get you to be someone you're not in public is ridiculous. Be who you are, and remember that not only are the gossipy gooses watching you do what you do, so too are those little kids that pop up here and there, just like you popped up when you started to realize what truly makes you who you you, there are some out there right now watching everyone hoping to see someone modeling the right thing to do when one is someone like you. Yes, we are all watching, and yes, some of us don't know how to act when presented with something new. Yet clearly theres absolutely nothing wrong with being transgender and nothing wrong loving your life. So make yourself the best you you can be and let those coming along behind you see how its done. Let us all see how its done. We're all actually kinda curious in all the ways that are good and bad. So, school us. Teach us what is good for us to know and what is none of our business. And, of course if you haven't seen the movie Transamerica, run out and see it right away. If you need a boost right now listen to this song, the theme song from that movie. Dolly Parton, who would ever have thought she'd understand. But apparently she does..

    The only thing I would caution against is letting -anyone- else know you're trans, unless you don't put much thought into fear for your safety.
    I've known a few people who are trans. Depending on certain things, you do risk getting beaten or killed when you're walking down the street. At least in the US anyway. I would look into other trans people's lives on blogs and youtube for more info if this is something that worries you.

    I'm not saying you shouldn't do what makes you happy. It isn't my business or anyone else's what you do with yourself. I'm saying that you should look into everything that comes with the territory. You could be getting yourself into more than you sign up for.

    Perfectly good vagina gone to waste. In the right hands a vagina is worth more than gold.

        In that case you should be asexual. Unless you want took be like a man 'and' with a man. You are painting yourself into a tough corner. Most men are either straight and like feminine women or gay and like biological men, haven't heard of many that like woman who have turned onto men. Good luck with that....

        • I swing either way and tbh wouldn't mind dating another trans person, its just I most likely wont have any sex with them since I'm repulsed by it.

          I'll do everything else such as going on romantic dates and whatever, I just hate sex

            No sex..... You are in for an interesting life. You might want to try living in Japan, they gave up sex too.

            FYI, I'd forget about the romantic dates.... The whole purpose of a romantic date is ROMANCE, since there will be none it will only be a tease. Stick to things like Rock climbing, shooting at the gun range or mountain biking.
