Reply To: What age did you know you were transgender?

[vickery Welsh]

The youngest that I remember being a boy was about age four or five. I refused to wear the top to my bikini and there are photos of me, topless, with my arm around my big sister. I was her boyfriend. And I hated dresses and feminine clothes! I wanted to play with Tonka toys and trucks more than dolls but was told they were boys toys by everyone. How can a toy have a gender?! My mom let me play with the stuff in private but not around other girls.
I dream as a guy, write gay novels, and if I could live out, after top surgery, I would date bisexual guys who like Trans guys.
It’s complicated.
