    my sister and me grew up with my mom and her friend and roommate Dave (they werent together at all, just friends)
    who later became Melanie
    she is a totally mentally stable and comfortable transgendered lesbian
    what your experiencing is nothing new
    just make sure that no matter what you do your always YOUR SELF

    What's "normal"? You are what you are. You are attracted to girls, fine. You feel like you are a girl? Maybe you're transgender. Not a big deal.

    Sounds normal to me. If you are unhappy or you have experienced abusive treatment you may need professional help to come to terms with your life.
    I am unsure why being you makes you feel like a girl, you would need to be more specific.

    It isn't normal, but that doesn't mean it's wrong.

    You have some options. You could, when you grow up and move out, decide to live as a MTF (male-to-female) transgendered lesbian, and at the extreme end get a sex-change operation.

    But I think it's more realistic for people to realize that gender is a social construct, and that just because you have a male body doesn't mean you have to act any certain way or feel any certain way about anything. You can do anything and be any kind of person in the body you have now.

    I think it would be helpful for you to start thinking about what exactly it is about being a girl that you feel is right for you? You might conceive of various attributes as engendered in the female form, but that conception is due to socialization, and you can un-learn it, so to speak.

    I believe you can make your body--and a certain degree of the conventions surrounding your body (like, not wearing dresses in public)--work for you, no matter who you are.

    If you'd like, I can recommend some literature you might find illuminating.

    It's not that I think there's anything wrong about transgendered people, I just think you're bringing a lot of social angst onto yourself whenever you live very much outside of the normal spectrum. For some people, having the close-knit kind of community that develops amongst transgendered people in big cities is a wonderful thing for them. But I think for a lot of people, it's unnecessary.

    You have to start thinking about what kind of person you want to be in this world.

    Hmm....well I have heard about other guys who think along those same lines so I would say it's "normal" but not all that common.

    At your age it can be a bit of a muddle for many of us men, and things can get a bit confusing at times. Before you start labeling yourself as one way or another I would just chill out for a wile and let your body and mind settle on just what you are and go from there - ok?

    It's unusal but your not strange considering what some people in this world are into. If you feel really strongly about it still when your older. Have the operation and become a transgender lesbian, as odd as that sounds.

    Do you truly mean always? Like when other boys were playing with Tonka trucks, you wanted a Barbie doll? Or is this a somewhat recent development over the past 2 or 3 years? If it's more recent, then I would give it a little more time - puberty can make things very very confusing.

    Unfortunately no in my opinion, God made you a boy and if he wanted to make you a girl then he would have done it. I know ppl these days are becoming more accepting of things like this but come on look what kind of world we live in these days everything and everyone is so screwed up. and straight girls with common sense will not be attracted to you as a girl and with that mentalitly. I co-sign on you getting therapy ASAP

    why do you want to be one? since you are attracted to girl it makes me think you believe being a guy means you have to be the stereotype. I would rather watch ballet than football, I'd rather be agile than brutishly strong and I would rather pick up a cheerleader with my hand on her butt than put my hand in another mans crotch and grunt "hike"

    See a Gender Therapist. They can help guide you through what you are experiencing. Perhaps it's a phase, or maybe you really do fall somewhere on the gender spectrum closer to female. Be open and honest with them and they really can help you.
    Also, despite what many may say about not thinking about it and thinking about it awhile, this is not good advice. Well intentioned, probably, but these people are missing the fact that if you indeed ARE transgendered, statistically speaking you'll be more happy with your life the earlier you transition. This is because hormone treatment is more effective the younger you are. Male sex hormones cause irreversible features such as facial hair, broad shoulders and ribcages, vocal deepening, and a heavy browline and chin. Many transwomen spend thousands of dollars trying to get rid of them, even going through dangerous surgery. Some can never be changed and countless hours are spent in dysphoria trying to hide or diminish them. It sounds superficial, and it is, but it's real mental anguish and sadly a preventable situation. This is what "thinking" about it until you are older will lead you to if you really are TG. So I urge you to consult a gender therapist as soon as you can spare yourself the confusion you are experiencing now, and any future issues should you really be transgender.

    I will say yes although I am not very educated on this topic. I had a friend once (who I thought was a female), 'she' confided in me and told me she was taking the hormones but was waiting for the psychological exam and then hopefully the surgery. 'She' said she was attracted to females still. So your situation is not a once off. Tonie did get her psychological exam passed but was very seclusive afterwards and we lost in touch. I hope she got what she desperately wanted, because although I don't understand it fully, we all want to feel 'right' and happy. Do what your heart and mind tells you.

    Wow this is a tough one. I know this must be very difficult for you, especially at 15. Because you are only 15, and as hard as it must be, I think you should wait it out for a few years. You do not want to make any big changes to yourself now and regret it later.

    Good luck!

    Hmmm. I guess yes there are a lot of men who are married who like to dress up like women and their wives know about it but they are still attracted to their wife.

    I know women who wish they were men and feel more like guys but they are totally attracted to men.

    I guess it happens but it isn't typical.

    i think its normal for most boys to think about being a girl and wearing all of the pretty things girls get to weear. there is nothing wrong with experimenting. maybe you will find out your curious and maybe you might find out its what you want. better to discover what you want before your older and in a relationship. i was like you when i was around 13. the internet was not around then and i felt guilty and often tried to surpress my desires. i wish i could have experimented then without feeling so guilty about it. now i am older, married and kids and i would never do anything to jeopardize my family. but i still wonder what it could have been like.

    Normal has no precise definition. There are 3 distinct gender identities for people; their brain, their body, and their sexual prefernce in a partner. Each of those is variable to all degrees between male and female, so it's totally ok to identify with them however you feel is most natural to you.

    You are normal, and you are a transgendered. It has nothing to do with what your attracted to, and only the gender you feel. In your mind you can be a female lesbian, even if you were born with male parts, and get acceptance by people all over.

    Is what normal? Being transgender is abnormal. If you are transgender that is your normal. You have 1% of the country for company. TGs are simultaneously meterosexual and homosexual regardless of what gender their partner is. That is normal. WHhether a TG has a preference for one gender partner or the other is an absolute matter of indifference. It is simply a matter of personal preference. Lesbians are girls who like girls. MTF TGs who like girls are lesbians. MTF TGS who like men are effectively gay. If you are a TG, you can only be "normal" if you have a relationship with a FTM TG. Otherwise you are either gay or lesbian. LOL I, like you, opt for the lesbian side/ But, I have dated and enjoyed social and intimate relationships with both genders. TGs on the whole are better rounded, grounded and adaptable than either gender.

    Yes, if you have real strong feelings that your a girl go out a buy some girls clothing to wear in private (like your bedroom), after staying with an old school mate for two weeks of the summer break about 40yrs ago I have always thought that I was a girl it all started when I caught him wearing one of his sisters bra,skirts,panties and pantyhose in his bedroom which we wrer shareing, he aske me what I thought of him dressed in his sisters clothes I said what you wear is up to you, he then asked me if I wanted to try wearing a bra,panties, pantyhose and a skirt I said yes please after putting them on I relised that I felt better dressed as a girl. I am now 52 and as I live on my own I am always dressed in female clothing around the house I also wear sanitary towels as a woman would

    I think its fine, I was always more like a tomboy, not so girly like others. I use to feel others thought I was a lesbian or something, though I was totally into guys. Im 36 now, still more of a tomboy then girly, been married for the last 13 years and together like 16 total with my husband.
    A person is a person, but you are young. Give yourself time to grow up before you find yourself. Girls got to be called tomboys, they never gave a name to boys who was more feminine. Men before always had to be super macho to be a man. An ex best friend of mine actually acted just like a gay man, all the moves and everything but was totally into women.
    Everybody is different, you act and feel the way you feel the most comfortable. Only you know yourself and what will make you happy. I think I would have preferred being a male but God made me a female so thats who I am =)

    well it could be that your feeling your feminine feelings come out more than usual.men have feminine feelings too.have fun and do what you want,you will be teased by people in the LGBT world as well as those who are not in the LGBT world.sometimes how you feel is actually not what you really want.you are attracted to woman and until you sleep with male your not bisexual or anything like that.have fun and live life to the fullest,also what you do in life who cares,if you physically hurt or harm someone your wrong,if you mentally hurt someone as with dressing like a woman,who cares,let them grow up and get over it,its like if you dont like the radio station turn the channel.
