How did you handle it? Do you have any tips for people in that predicament?

The real question for me is, have I ever LOOKED like the gender I want to be?
No...

The guy I am now is only covering the girl I really am. I'd love to come out of the closet about it, but I'm terrified as to what my family and friends may think of me. |

I was at the age of 10, I believe. Before I grew up to finally grow into my female physique, I used to be considered a boy, only because my parents would dress me up as one and I'd think, act, talk...ect. like one. After some time I did eventually get tired of it, only because of peers, I knew I wasn't a boy, so I tried to grow into how I should be, as a girl.
Eventually, I got tired of that too, so after that I just went back and forth, changing styles and all types of things.

Yeah, I think adults,
-grown women with small hips, a low voice, pants bulge, and facial stubble, OR -grown men with wide hips, boobs, and a higher voice due to an endocrine disorder or whatever, have unique trouble. Some people really do have endocrine disorders that far out of control. It can make for a difficult time until it's treated. |

I think I could pass as the gender I want to identify as, facially, but I'm 23 now, and my hair is thinning and I have facial hair to deal with, it makes it harder for me to look the way I feel, I look at older photos of me, and If I still looked that way now, I'd feel a lot more comfortable about myself.

In my experience, the real trouble doesn't start until you look clearly male or female (not ambiguous) and don't have any understanding of or desire to be in the gender role you're getting pinned as. Being seen as the wrong gender causes people to misunderstand your behavior. For example, as a guy with AIS, sometime people think I'm a female and assume that I have inappropriate, unprofessional behavior and psychological problems when I attempt to use a masculine deep voice which is a habit of mine from growing up male. Those who mistake me as a female, show disapproval and misinterpret my "deep calm or happy voice" as an angry, forceful, grouchy voice. It took me a while to figure that out. A very disorienting and disturbing problem. |

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