hey everyone. i am a 20-year-old female with an ftm boyfriend. up until we started dating about 8 months ago i defined myself as a lesbian. although i've always been more on the masculine side, i've never really thought of myself as anything other than a "girl," even though i've always wanted to be a boy. when i was 6 i told my grandmother i was a handsome boy lol. anyway, the reason for my post is, i've always kinda wanted to be a boy, but never really had the urge to transition or anything like that. i just kinda like the image of me being a boy. i like people to think i'm a boy, and omg do i want my boobs to go away! but i dont feel like i would need any other surgery or need to go on T to fulfill my urges. my boyfriend (who is pre-t and pre-op) got a little freaked out when i told him my secret (i had never told anyone before of my thoughts). i would have thought that he especially would understand how i was feeling. my question to you guys is do you think i'm trans or just a gender bender? and how do i help my boyfriend deal with this? i'd really appreciate some insight here....thanks for listening!!
