Gender X...yea...I THINK...that's me. I mean...I have no idea. Am I a girl? Do I belong in the skin that I was born with? Or am I a...boy? Am I supposed to have a penis? I don't think that I'm a transgender, because in no way do I hate my body parts. Isn't that what trans people feel? I mean...that's what I was always told: that they honestly hate their vagina or penis...and want the opposite.
But I don't hate my body! I love my breasts and my vag...dunno why...they're just beautiful I guess. I have a nice body, in the typical sense. But I love dressing like a boy...
Alright, I think I got it: I like FEELING male. Not necessarily BEING male. When people call me "beautiful" I cringe internally and think "HANDSOME HANDSOME HANDSOME!" I hate being...thought of as a girl. I've had adults and kids mistake me for a boy, what with my short hair and guy-style clothes. And you know what? I like it. This one lady said to my mom "Oh! This must be your son." and I shook her hand and it didn't bother me. Should it have? And mom jumped in and was like "No! This is my daughter." and I felt....dissapointed.....
I've talked to my mom about it...but i think it bothers her. She said it bothers her when people mistake me for a boy. But I WANT THEM TO!!! WHYYYYY???!!!! I sometimes wish that I did have a penis. But mostly just for sex reasons. I find myself imagining myself havin a penis in my fantasies. What the &^%$?!
I want to be a LESBIAN. I have always been a LESBIAN. But...when I think about being called a boy...I like it. I think that I would be really happy if, when meeting a stranger, they called me a boy, and I didn't correct them. But then what happens when they become friends? Or lovers? What do I tell them then? "Oh yea, I told you I was a dude, but hey, I've got tits and a vag. Whoopsies." *beats head on wall*
And my girlfriend..I've talked to her about it too...but she's so conflicted with her OWN stuff...you know..small stuff like..oh...finding out she's GAY. She barely understands her own sexuality! I don't even know if I'm "straight". Then she would be too. Ug...I want to cry. I've thought about it for months. I want to be a girl. I want to be a boy. I want to be...me....but who...am I?.....

first of all, transgendered
first of all, transgendered is an umbrella term for anyone who feels that their gender identity does not match the one assigned to their sex.
also, about your girlfriend, you are the same person on the inside no matter which way you choose to present yourself, so your girlfriend can still identify as gay. some people who identify as gay have had feelings for people of the opposite gender, but like being with the same gender more. all of this just gets into terminology issues, but I wouldn't worry right now.I think people should just be themselves, whoever that is.
You don't have to hate your body...
...to be transgender.
Everyone is different. Some trans people never medically transition and they're completely happy with that. Others (like myself) need more than that. But either way is fine. It's not just, an on or off thing, some people are okay with their bodies, some aren't, some people are completely uncomfortable with being recognized as female, some are okay with it, some don't mind being out as trans, and some do... It doesn't make them more or less trans, they just feel differently.
the thing that bothers me
the thing that bothers me tho...is all the conflict within myself. I mean...I don't want to call myself a lesbian because as of now, I don't think I fall under that label! But I'm not bisexual because I do not like guys...pretty much at all. But I'm not straight because I have a girl's body and i'm comfortable in it.
Is it possible to be a decided male in a female's body...and like it?.....but then what do i tell people? Hi, i'm a chick, or, hi, i'm a dude!
