I feel so much more comfortable that I've ever been. I've felt male as far back as I can remember.
Until I really accepted this about myself and got over any of my own transphobia that I had, I really felt like I wouldn't be accepted. I thought I would ruin my life.
I always felt like the male from the time I was a child. There wasn't much feminine about me.
It felt as if my body was, like, literally betraying me because I went from a very athletic, straight-up-and-down little kid to a very curvaceous woman, and it was just horrifying to me.
I felt like one of the boys. My friends were boys. In school I related to boys.
I always had this idea that, 'Sure, I wished I was a boy and felt more like a boy and all of that.' But I wasn't, so I would deal with it. And I for some reason thought there were other lesbians that felt that way and that was just part of that community.
When I was really little, it was very clear to me that I felt like a boy, and my friends were all boys.
