I'm 36. I was born male. But ever since I was a little kid, I've definitely felt way more like a girl than a boy. Strangers often think I'm a girl on the phone or in drive-thrus. I've had many people who know me well tell me they think I have the soul of a female. "Straight" guys have always been drawn to me romantically, and I to them. I always think how my life would've been so much better if I had been a girl. If I could take a pill and magically become one, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

​

But even though I'm 100% positive I'd be much happier as a girl, I think if other parts of my life were better, and if I had a partner who really loved me for who I am, I could still be happy. Plus gender reassignment is highly unrealistic, since I'm pretty poor.

​

I've never taken a gender studies class or anything, and I haven't really followed the new terminologies or anything. So, what category would I put myself in? If I haven't given enough information for you to answer that, then please let me know what else you'd need to know! Thanks.
