Hello!
Pretty new to this so I thought I'd give it a shot. Ever since I've entered puberty I've wished that I had been born a gay man and not a "girl". When I was a child I would dream of myself as a boy, going so far as to imagine myself growing a penis.

I've assumed that I was transgender for a while now and I'm much more comfortable being referred to as a man.
At the same time, though I don't know if I'm just lying to myself? Because I've never truly felt like a man, I've just always wished that I had been born one. Hope my thought process makes sense!
Thanks in advance for any input.

    hey! im trans myself so i hope i can help
    i never explicitly thought of myself as a boy as a child. i did really want this particular name (which is now what i go by).
    if being called a man is what makes you comfortable, then i think its totally possible that ur trans. try asking close friends to call you he/him/his pronouns to try them out, or a different name. experiment, and know that you dont need a label and that there is no rush! figure stuff out at ur own pace.
    also, it is typical of people to realise they are trans during puberty, as developing further as a "man/woman" often triggers dysphoria. i realised when i was around 11/12.
    i cant say whether you are trans but these are my thoughts. i hope they made sense haha

    I know the feeling. I'm a man and wished I was born a girl.
    I'm 29 and for as long as I can remember over always wanted to be a girl. I've just been to scared to do anything about it and scared of what other people would think as well.
    I've cross dressed secretly, never done it in public. But it just feels like it meant for me to be a girl.
    Other times, I just accept that it's never going to happen and that I was born to be a man. Now all I can do is keep on secretly crossdressing and continue to live a lie.
    I really hope you manage to find your true identity.
