Hi Alex,
I do relate to being a bit odd as a boy-child, with me it was wanting to be someone else, not me. I was very shy and not st all athletic, I compensated by shining at skills like reading, vocabulary being a total bookworm. Never felt that I even belonged on a,baseball or other team of all boys more aggressive than myself. However, girls in junior high did not like me at all, though some teachers did recognize,my skills. I think it began then that I wanted to be one of the girls but did not find acceptance there. So, I often fantasized about being female for decades until I finally discovered crossdressing. Gradually realized about three years ago that I wanted to dress like and be fem all thr time. Now in therapy for and planning on transition. hugs, Aulura S.
