Is it normal to want to be the opposite sex?

For as long as I can remember I don't feel comfortable being a guy. I used to pray before I went to sleep to wake up a girl, and have even had dreams about being a girl. I wouldn't say that I'm feminine , but I take care of myself more then all the guys I know put together, things like manicures and pedicures, basically I'm extreamly metrosexual. I've had expierences with both girls and guys, and find them to be pretty much equal. I check out guys equally as much as I check out girls. What's confusing is that the people I tell this to are either, "Hey, your gay" or "Your just intouch with your inner woman." Is it normal to feel uncomfortable in your own skin? To want to be reborn so that you can feel complete? Am I alone in this feeling??

    I never said that I wanted a sex change, I just said that I feel uncomfortable in my skin, and wish that I was born a girl

    You could be transsexual, like me and a lot of other people. I know exactly what you're feeling, I used to pray a lot too but it didn't help at all.. You should ask your doctor for help, or talk to someone who could help you out because if you really want to do this you will need someone who's there for you. Good luck. :)

    I've always felt like a guy.
    and I used to pray that when I woke up I was a guy.
    But I'm not attracted to girls. lol does that mean that I'm a gay guy on the inside? xD

      lol i always thought i'd be better off and happier as a guy too, but i'd never be attracted to women physically because men are just gloriously attractive creatures. mmm.

      but yeah, im all for being a guy instead of a girl, im sick of this mother nature and bleeding once a month laong with the mood swings and the cravings thing.

    I've considered what its like to be a guy, and only in recent years as I really understood myself to be lesbian really appreciated that I'm a woman. (being a woman is awesome)

    btw in Canadian aboriginial culture at least there's people called "two-spirited" who identify as male and female, and they are considered wise with this ability to understand both genders.

    I would talk to a counsellor about it and watch some videos of transgendered people on Youtube.

    I know you've said that you want to be a girl rather than a boy, but I think you have to live life as a girl for anything up to two - maybe three - years, if both you and the doctor reckon you are indeed transgendered.

    Don't rush into anything, though. Not all trans people are happy once they've had genital reassignment surgery, so I've heard.

    P.S. Completely normal. You're not the only one by any means.

    maybe you should consider a sex change. watch the movie "modify", it talks about all these sorts of things at a part with sex changes and such. its normaller than you would think.

    Just live with it! Never do a sex change because you will definitly regret. I have a cousin who changed her sex from a male to a female and she/he really regrets. You will have pain having sex, you will nnot have an orgasem and you can never have any children. If you like cocks in you, just take it and whenever you want, have sex with a woman (if available). Trust me, I am a woman and I am very proud of myself, but I never want to socialise with a fake woman (a man changed to a "so called" woman.
    Best of luck.

    I felt the same way when I was in elementary school. No one took me seriously because I was a girl. Also in PE, boys and girls were split into two groups. Boys did really fun things like flag football and hockey, and the girls were stuck doing stupid things like playing jump-rope(boring!) and playing volleyball(my wrist was swollen once.) Also, girls could get longer time limits in running and did not have to do as many push ups as guys.

    This description sounds transsexual to me. I identify as being a TV, and I'm more about wanting to emulate a girl/woman rather than actually be one. (Especially full time!)

    What you mean opposite? There aren't only two opposite sexes!There are a lot of them.
    Just choose yours.

    This is normal, sexuality has nothing to do with being trans. I have lots of trans friends who have felt this way, just be yourself, if that means dressing and living as a woman then that's fine. Maybe talk to your doctor who can give you some hormone pills to help you in your transition. Good luck, I hope you have supportive people around you.

    I am a women who sometimes thinks about being a guy, but i know that i love being a women. I think it is totaly normal to be uncomfortable in your own skin. I think that most people are. Also, if you want to be a girl maybe ask some of your friends that are girls ( if you have any) what it feels like, maybe try to " live through them. Hope what i said helped.

    Yes, you're transgendered, or at the very least you're genderqueer.

    Start presenting yourself as a woman?

    I am not transexual, I'm not a chick who used to be a dude. Why do people feel the need to put other people who are different down? Thank you everyone else who responded with constructed criticism.

    As a girl l would advise you to go for the girls cuz you said that you have enjoyed having sex with boys and girls. Socially you will be accepted if you stick to girls. And remember we have our monthly and are always afraid about getting pregnant...
    l can understand why you might enjoy how nice it is to have a handsome and clean erection in your mouth but that is not as God intended. So do as l do..... l have my boyfriends and l love life and yes l have allowed 2 guys to get me... but usually l will just do the oral for my date (unless he is a jerk)
    Soenjoy your boyfriends but learn to love your girlfriends if you want to have a normal life.... good luck
