I guess so. I dunno why, but I'm still surprised by your open-mindedness.

I'm not phased by your unique way of identifying yourself. I do understand that it might be hard to explain to others what you are trying convey in explaining your sense of self, but if you are truly struggling with it, to the point of not being able to cope in a healthy way, then and only then should you consider seeking counseling. If you're able to cope, then why not live life with this original way of feeling and identifying yourself as?

What is hard for me is not that I identify as a little girl, but that my body is so mature. It upsets me, but I'm learning to deal with it on my own. I can cope, but what I want is to understand it, understand the things behind what makes me like this, find others like this, etc. I want to know more.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
