I totally support gender changes being legal.. I think it's your body, your decision.
I also think that it's a really bad way to run away from a deeper underlying problem.
I think that what you are experiencing is more linked to the time in your life, the social environment that you are in, etc. It is REALLY hard to be a young female from what I understand. There are a lot of expectations that girls (and some guys) put on each other.
The thing is, that from what you wrote, it doesn't sound to me like you are masculine or that you think masculinely. I think it sounds to me (and I could be wrong) that you are just fed up with all the pressures that society puts on young women and the things that make you happy isn't hair and make up and chasing boys. And that is actually... pretty normal. Even if it doesn't feel like it.
You were born a female. There is nothing wrong with that! You can be a girl who isn't into the stuff that every other girl is into. It doesn't make you any less. You're perfectly great just the way that you are... naturally. (:
A psychologist once was telling me about how he sees patients sometimes who want a sex change. And he says that lots of times, they come in and they are all depressed and they want a sex change, thinking it will make their life a lot better; but then they go through the change and then in his words they are just "depressed without the penis".
Hang in there! I think it's more normal than you think to feel that way.
Ah, I see where you're coming from. You see, my post was originally supposed to be titled "Is it normal to hate being female." But, as I wrote, I decided to change the title, seeing as I really wanted to ask a different question. Some of the things I hate about being female are left in there and I know being genderless would not fix those problems. I am aware that I will most likely still be treated as a woman if I get surgery. I know there will still be stereotypes and I will be treated the same way. I am not trying to run away from any of that by doing this. I would just be a lot happier with my body if I were genderless.
Is it normal to want to have no gender?

So, here's my two cents.
