I have to picture myself as a boy

    How come every time I picture myself with a woman, in a relationship I see myself as a being boyish. Like I see myself looking like a boy, I feel like if I remain looking girly as I am right now I will compare myself to her. I also don't want to have boobs or any female parts if I'm with a woman. Is this weird?

    Not necessarily :slight_smile: While I think it would be worthwhile to consider the possibility of being transgendered, you could well be genderfluid - harder to explain to parents, easier on the wallet XD

    Best advice I can give is: Research genderqueers and transmen, and best of luck figuring it out. I know I haven't yet.

    I'm honestly so freaked out. I'm 7 months pregnant and I've never wanted to be with a woman before like seriously and now I even want to change my gender. Like I wear baggy clothes and am disgusted by my boobs, I hate that I have them, all of a sudden I have this weird desire to change sexes and never be with a man again. And when I think off sex with a woman I think it would be boring unless I had a penis, like a real one. Wtf.

    Confusedlady - this sounds like your hormones may be doing something. Hormones can be quite psycho-active drugs (in other words, they have powerful effects on the mind), and during pregnancy, the body has more different hormones in it, and typically in greater concentrations, so it could be related. I would try to not worry about it too much, but if you are really worried, you may want to seek a therepist that deals with gender issues. Considering you are 7 months along, though, you may wish to wait 3-6 months if you aren't having too much of an issue coping with it, as your hormone levels should stabilize after the pregnancy, though it can take a few months. AFIK, gender issues therepy can be quite expensive, and often isn't covered by insurance.
