Is it normal that i want to be a male?

Ok, so I have a bit of an odd story. Ever since I was a tiny child, I would think I was a boy. Honestly, I would make people refer to me as a 'he' and call me the male equivalent of my name. It would freak out my cousins (who were younger than me), and I would feel kind-of outcasted. I grew out of this when I reached older ages because of puberty, but it has since returned. I'm 100% heterosexual and have an amazing, loving boyfriend but I can't help but wish I was a male sometimes- not for romantic reasons at all, just to be a boy. I've felt like this my whole life, but I'm afraid it would ruin some 'relationships' with my friends and family, because they would think it's 'unnatural' or 'gay'- but it's nothing like that! I just simply wish to be a male sometimes, just for the sake of exploring my childhood thoughts. Is this normal?

    So do you think you are transgender, or do you just want to act as a male sometimes? I wish you the best of luck, but I have to warn you, you will get persecuted.

    No. I think you need to look at the positives of being who you are in life and being content with that. I know it might be hard, but biology doesn't make mistakes regarding one's natural gender and there's nothing wrong with being a male or female.

      Biology makes mistakes with everything. You must live in a very tiny, insular world and you make life really hard for people who are different to you, due to your ignorance. Biology doesn't make mistakes with your natural gender, you say?? But it makes mistakes with everything else!

    America is a beautiful place because we are slowly letting people be whoever they want to be.

    I'm a tomboy too. There is no use of worrying about this. It is completely normal, believe me.

    You're not alone. I used to do the exact same thing: everybody had to call me Michael and i'd always keep my hair short. I'd also dress like a boy and force my voice and way of speaking to be more boyish. I even dated girls pretending to be a boy (tho i'm pretty sure they knew i was a girl); anyways, it was only that kind of 'child's play' dating and i only did it to look more like a boy. As soon as i hit puberty i turned completely girly so as to clean up my old image and now i'm starting to get back to my old fantasies...

    I'd think about this. It's a one way sort of deal.

    It's not what it's all cracked up to be. We're basically a walking bunch of dumb ideas and awkward boners (:

    Isn't that what imagination is for? Why not write stories or a book about yourself as a male, going on adventures or whatever?
    Since this is apparently a transient feeling, this might be a way of having your cake and not ruffling everyone's feathers.
