I have always felt different, I didn't understand why I just knew there was something about me that was different from all the girls I knew... I always felt more like 'one of the guys' but I didn't understand to what extent when I was a kid, I had always liked girls for one thing and I thought at the time that I liked guys to. I didn't know that wasn't "Normal" until I was ten years old and a watched a movie that mentioned a bisexual woman, a came out as bi and I stood by that until I was seventeen when I realized I wasn't sexually attracted to Men and I came out as a lesbian. During the next few years I slowly started to understand why I still didn't feel right, I started binding my chest and I realized how much I more like myself I felt. I came out as trans on three occasions but due to my family telling me a was wrong I pushed those feelings back until the third time. I've stood my ground and I feel great for it, living as a man makes me feel more complete than I ever have. The next step for me is to start fully transitioning, I want to be able to take my shirt off and feel happy with what I see, I want to be able to be recognized as the man I know I am.
