WHO AM I?!

A lot like others here including me.

I have been lucky enough to be referred by my Dr to a good counsellor. After a year or so of sessions, I am coming to grips with things.

It is ok to have these feelings. It is ok to explore your gender. None of us are completely one or the other. It is ok to physically want to reflect who you are mentally.

When I was 6, my parents were worried because they had reports that I spent all my time playing with the girls in primary school and the girls had declared me an honorary girl.

I was encouraged to play with the boys and while I don't remember much of it, I lost that connection I had. I am just now coming to realise what I lost.

I still have things that I like which are not considered stereotypical female like being a science geek and liking to build things although I have nieces who are probably more into it than I am.

I think the important thing is to explore who you are and not try to be someone else, at least in settings where you are safe. Sadly, we all have to live in a society that is not always accepting of those who are a little different and in those cases, we have to wear a protective mask.
