Kind of confused?

    Hi!

    So I basically landed on this forum because I was confused about gender and such? I mean I have always been a bit of a tomboy, I have loved things that boys generally liked (although I did like some things that were girly as well). I hated the different toys in like McDonald's Happy Meals and often asked for the boy one (although admittedly, they were cooler). I also wanted to hang out with guys and when girls talked about make up, i was uninterested. I hated my breasts, especially when they were growing.

    I did later accept feminine things, I do sometimes use make up and have conformed more. But there's another thing that led me to questioning - if I could press a button that would make me biologically male, I would press it in a second. But without that possibility, I don't know if I would transition? It's just...that I'm confused. I have read books with trans characters and recognised so many thoughts (they were written by trans authors) that I have become totally confused and no one around me can actually help.

    Are you saying your family wouldn't be supportive of you? What about friends?

    I like to think they would. Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't. When I asked my mum for a binder, she asked if I want to look like a man, and the tone was...I don't know, it didn't sound well. But I like to think she'd support me.

    But that's currently the least of my problems.

    Well, perhaps as long as they aren't antagonistic towards you then you should explore these feelings a bit more openly and see where it takes you.

    What kind of thoughts?

    I’m not sure if bumping this is okay but during the time I was absent from here, I was able to chat with more trans people and was figuring and trying more, and I have come to realisation that I AM trans. I also got my first binder! I’m still confused about loads of things but this one is at least partly ‘solved’
