Hang in there! I was in your shoes once. It wasn't until my late 20's that I accepted myself. I love sports, never wear makeup (except my wedding day), never carried a purses. I don't think like most women either. Mt Pdoc says that is the way I am wired. My hubby loves me for me. I have 2 sisters. The one who didn't want boobs, got the biggest chest. It was a tough go. At one place of employment, my nickname was butch. I didn't like it at all. I finally figured that being a guy would not have made my depression go away. I finally had a good T that helped me through it all.

Thanks for sharing your experience! That's what I think sometimes, maybe I'll accept myself someday... But for now it's really hard to be honest.

Your mother played a strange role in your gender identity development by treating you like a boy, telling you to man up. You should explore more about that. Do you think she influenced you? Or do you think she treated you like a boy as a reaction to you naturally being a very tomboyish girl?

I think she probably influenced me a little, but I also think I would have ended up masculine anyway, maybe with less dysphoria.

Are you attracted to men at all?
There are women who are perceived as being very strong.
Do you relate to being a lesbian?
What if you were on a deserted island and didn't have to worry about clothes or people's opinions?

No really I don't find myself attracted to guys... I will find some of them attractive but not in a sexual way, I'll just be jealous of what they have.
Well I guess I could be qualified as one since I'm attracted to girls, but I don't really worry/think about my sexual orientation though because I hate being in a relationship anyway...
If I was on a deserted island I would for sure transition even though there'd be no doctor haha, because there'd be no men to compare myself to, nobody to tell me I'm not a real man, and nobody to discriminate me.
thanks for your replies guys
