I really feel like I should be a girl instead of a guy
Question Posted Thursday August 9 2007, 5:23 pm
I really wasn't sure what category to put this in. My family and friends have no clue how I really feel. I'm 17, and just starting my senior year. Everybody thinks I'm happy being a guy, I play sports, date girls, do everything I'm "supposed" to do as a guy just so nobody figures me out. But inside, I've never felt right being a guy, I've always wished I was a girl instead. Everything just seems hopeless.
You are still young and it may be that you aren't producing enough testosterone (the male hormone) at the moment.
However, if you have felt like this a long time then perhaps you are really a girl inside, but were just born the wrong sex. It really does happen.
It sounds like you could be Transgendered, meaning ''People who were assigned a sex, usually at birth and based on their genitals, but who feel that this is a false or incomplete description of themselves.''
Try searching Transgendered online and find a support forum, they know a lot more about this than I do and can help you find out whether you are Transgendered or not.
