I didn't really know what being trans was until I was at least thirteen and my feelings were still a jumble of emotions at that point. I just felt lost and unable to fit in regardless of who I tried to be when I was younger. It's nice to find common ground with others in the trans community and know that the overused statement, "I've felt this way since I can remember" doesn't make a trans person any more or less trans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847523841404551261.post-53538798012602521232011-12-25T11:34:22.414+00:002011-12-25T11:34:22.414+00:00Thanks for the comment, Alex.

For example, I love Rainbow Brite and like dressing in colourful and geeky guy's clothing. I'm pretty camp, as a guy. <br /><br />When I was a teenager in conservative USA, and found that I was attracted to other female-bodied people as well as male-bodied people, I suppressed it because my church said it was sinful. I knew I didn't quite fit in with either the girls or the guys, but thought it was because of my sexuality, not my gender identity. I had never heard of FTMs and up until a few years ago didn't realise that they existed. <br /><br />Thank goodness for the internet! I've learned so much about being transgender from searching online and talking with other trans* people.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072514404463266617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847523841404551261.post-56943757360596448342011-12-24T15:22:43.154+00:002011-12-24T15:22:43.154+00:00Great video.

Mostly they called me a poof -not because I showed any interest in boys but because they thought I was more like a girl so therefore HAD to be homosexual. (That and being bad at sport which 'obviously' makes you gay) Even when I heard about transsexuals back in the 1980's you couldn't be a lesbian transwoman so I had to get to 40 before I found out I'm trans. I always knew, just didn't know it was called that.<br />@grrlAlex@grrlAlexhttp://www.grrlalex.comnoreply@blogger.com
