    I'm content with my gender, no problems whatsoever. Genderbending is fun tho, who knows, I might be a girl or a boy?

    I don't meet a lot of the stereotypical guy things, but I do identify with being a guy and don't have any problems. Do I think it would be cool to be a girl? Hell yeah, but I'm mainly interested to see what I would look like and see what it's like to get dolled up and do my hair and be more accepted for taking care of my skin, since most girls I know obsess over things like that. But do I wish I was a girl? No. I can't say I don't want to see what it's like to be one, though, and don't know if (given the magical chance to be one) I'd want to be one for more than just a day. Does that count as gender dysphoria or do you find that's pretty normal?

    But I have to say! I am very jealous that girls are the ones with more toys when they're younger and girls are the ones who can typically carry a purse with everything they could want while I have to settle for putting things in my pockets. >___< I remember being so jealous when I saw commercials on TV for new girl toys and I pretty much had the same toys I've had for years.

    I am the way God made me. This is the Supreme Truth, and anyone who tells me that what I am is wrong is wrong themselves. If other people aren't happy with the way they are, I understand that, but I know that no matter what happens, there's a reason I am me.

  • I was pretty confused about this growing up, since I grew up in a pretty conservative area. I was unlike most boys around there, all my friends were girls and I was into girly things. When I got older all my crushes were even on guys. So yeah I was pretty confused. I can clearly remember the moment I became happy with myself though. I was at a Starbucks with my parents in Washington D.C. when I was 10 or 11, and I saw these two teenage guys kiss over at the counter. Right then it kind of dawned on me that just because I was a guy didn't mean I couldn't be with another guy. Up until then it had never even registered that homosexuality existed, like it didn't even cross my mind that it was possible. Sooo right that moment I knew I was gay and I was finally happy with my gender. Though I didn't fully accept that I was gay until a year or so later lol.

    Of course, seeing those two guys kiss in public like that totally outraged my parents, haha.

  • I've had my own questioning moments. Overall, though, I wouldn't want to change my gender, and am happy being a guy. Some people have told me I act feminine, and others just that I am not very masculine.

  • I identify more as genderfluid on the genderqueer spectrum. I have more masculine moments, I have more feminine moments, and I don't consistently identify myself with either, but I guess I can be considered gender dysphoric since I'm not fully content with the sex I was born into.

    Though I'm not exactly content with my male body, I still grew up in it, so I feel that it's developed into my own body, and I can live with it like I have before. This is pretty much an "I got used to it" situation for me, but I sometimes think that I would have been more satisfied with my body being born female instead.

  • I feel like I'm right in the middle between the two. I have male interests like gaming and cars, but on the other hand I love girls fashion and I have a weakness for cute things. All told though, I wouldn't change my gender... after living this long, it would be a huge shock.

    Now, if I wished that I was born the other gender, that's another story entirely :P

    I like my current gender, but there are some days that I wish I was the opposite gender.
