Is it normal to feel repulsed by her voice?

I've been dating this guy for about three years now and it's been - not boring.

In these years, there's been an underlying concern on his part where he feels he should be a she.

He's mentioned forgetting about this part of his life just as frequently, but is now convinced he was meant to be a She and is determined to do so.

He also admitted to me tonight that he's been using me for my personality. It sounded strange to hear it said this way, but when it sunk in, it stung so deeply.

During the same conversation he claims that he's been trying out different aspects that he found desirable in men and taking them on as acts that he could pull off. Concluding that none of them felt "real, like being a woman would, because [he's] always been a woman".

When he speaks as a female his voice sounds like an overdone southern belle and his expression looks like mania fighting to keep calm.

I feel repulsed and offended that he thinks he can suddenly be something I've grown up as. It's difficult to let the feeling go and I'm so confused over it.

Is it normal to feel as repulsed as I do by her?

Obviously this has much more to do with her voice, but I need to hear some outside views, as I've not had the balls to talk about this with anyone before.

    You don't have to feel guilty for feeling repulsed or offended. but for the sake of your sanity, break it off with with him.

    • That's exactly and simply what I know I needed to hear. Thank you.

    I'm a tad confused. Your boyfriend thinks he wants to be a girl? Are you going to stay with him if he's transgender?

    And I can understand your reaction to it. My ex girlfriend started calling herself a guy shortly after we broke up, and I'm relieved that didn't happen while we were dating. I want her/him to be happy, but that would have been too hard to deal with.

    • Indeed, he wants to be a female. Apparently everything about him that I fell in love with wasn't really him and now he's upset because he wants me to love him as a she, but I'm not into it and it just blows, honestly.

        It's okay to have a preference. If you don't like girls, then you can be honest with him. And dating a transgender person comes with a whole suite of problems... I don't like to sound transphobic, but it would be easier if you had met someone who had already transitioned, you know? Going through the transition will be very difficult.

    Dump him immediately, remain friends. Seek a real man. Any questions?

    • How do you stay friends with someone who openly admits to using you? That's my main concern at the moment; we live together and I would like to make it work, but I feel like shit whenever I see him.

        They are openly admitting to using you. Maybe you want to stay with "him" because you are dependant on him? If you desire a MAN that's fine. But this guy ainght one. Do yourself a favor and GTF out ASAP, your wasting your time and ovaries.
