Thanks everyone. It's taking me a little bit to try to process what everyone is saying. I am going to continue talking to my therapist about it. It's getting harder, though. I just joined a new gym and everytime I walk into the women's locker room, I feel like I'm walking into the wrong one. While I'm in there, I feel like other women are looking at me like "Why is there a boy in here?" I agree with the few people who said people can dress however they please, like whomever they please, etc. But I feel like this issue is making life a lot harder. I feel like I'm living a lie. I can't imagine myself ever telling anyone but my therapist. It's not like when I came out about being bisexual. My friends accept that, although my family doesn't know. But this...I don't think I would be accepted by anyone. Friends, family, coworkers...I feel like they would not want to be part of my life anymore. People don't want to be friends with someone like me. They really don't want to be something more than friends. I think if I told people, I would be better off moving to a new city where people don't know me and where I can be whomever makes me comfortable, whether that's being a boy or a girl.
I see my therapist tomorrow so hopefully she will help me out with it some more.
