Is it normal to feel like you were born the wrong gender?

54% Normal
12 Comments

I'm a heterosexual teenage girl but I feel like I was supposed to be born as a gay male. I wear sports bras to flatten my chest, often dress androgynous and have more "masculine" interests. However I also enjoy "girly' things like fangirling, painting my nails and having an interest in shoes and fashion. Whenever I have dreams I'm depicted as a male. I'm repulsed at the thought of myself kissing or having any other sexual contact with a guy unless I imagine myself as one. I don't have any wishes of having a sex change.
Is this a normal thing?

      Fangirling:verb: To make loud high pitched noises (this includes squealing, yelling, or talking so quickly that it doesn't sound like they are actual speaking a real language) or show their excitement for the object of their obsession though movement.

    I'm like you but the other way around :P I was born a male, but feel like I might be female. But at the same time, I still enjoy doing various masculine things. Maybe we're semi-transsexual or something?

    I believe the fact that you feel that you were not comfortable with the gender that you were born this perfectly normal, however, I do believe that at the same time you not wanting to dress like a girl is a grey area. You will learn to accept your sex as u get older. you don't have to accept your GENDER but u should accept your sex. be proud of who u really are... a GIRL who has masculine tendencies. Don't let society's norms convince u that u should be a gay male... U r a straight chick who just has some masculine tendencies and u r precious the way u r :)

    Its not normal. the fact you don't feel comfortable within yourself to even kiss a guy unless you are a guy yourself.

    sounds like you want to be a guy deep down.

    It's not really normal, but not unheard of either. I feel very similar, but reverse genders. I often wish I was born a girl.

    Normal? Hardly. Should it be a problem? I don't see why.

    It means that you're Transgendered.

    ya it's normal, perhaps you don't want to actually make a change and you think its fun to fantasize being a gay male.

    Now if you hate being in a woman's body and know you were meant to be a boy then you might want to consider transitioning.

    I think what you are experiencing is normal. You might be a very extreme tomboy. I know I sometimes feel like a girl, but I am a guy. I will work on a car occasionally, I have a little facial hair on a regular basis, and I mostly do guy stuff. However, I wear girls underwear regularly and sometimes picture myself as a girl. Sometimes I think of myself as a male lesbian. I would rather have a relationship with a woman that, when it came to sexual stuff, didn't focus on me being in her, but rather us being together exploring each other's body.
