Woman Outside, Man Inside.

The Story

Hello! I am an 18 year old girl. I'm about to finish school and I really need to start thinking about my future. The problem is that I am tormented by something inside that kills every drop of ambition and motivation in me and makes me want to end my life more and more. Maybe you'll wonder if I'm okay with the title, you'll immediately conclude that I need a psychologist, but ... I have no one to share it with in real life. I don't even know in which category to put this confession. It all started ... ever since I can remember. As a child, I always enjoyed the opportunity to dress like a boy, to hang out with them, to have typically male interests (without sports). But on the other hand, I've never had a problem hanging out with girls, and I've fallen in love with girls' games and things like that. Sometimes I told my childhood friends that I wanted to be a boy. Of course, a lot of weird reactions followed, and I told them I was just kidding. And no - I don't like women. I'm not a lesbian, not in the least. I like boys and I always knew it, I had no doubts. I just want to be a man. To look and sound like that, to be accepted as such. There was a time when I was still a small child and when I heard my name, I felt sick, as well as when they treated me like a girl, which of course was and to this day is inevitable. I've never tried to be super masculine, in part because the fact that I developed much earlier than my other peers physically stopped me, I felt uncomfortable and I didn't want to be seen as a lesbian, because that would probably happen. (I don't mind lesbians or women in general! but I don't want to be like that myself. ) I had boyfriends and they liked me a lot, but I never felt okay in my relationships, I thought that others were to blame, but in fact it was because I hated myself, because I wanted to be liked not as a woman, but as a man, strange as that may sound. It is somewhat unfair to them. They see a girl in front of them, and inside she wants to be just like them ... That's why I stopped going out on dates for now. It's hard for me because I may never have a full relationship. Actually, I don't want to be a straight woman, I want to be a gay man. I know that many people think that gender identity is directly related to sexual orientation, but it is not. You don't have to be a lesbian / gay to be trans, as in my case. But I can't call myself a trance because I don't do anything about it. Just as sad as it is to say it, I don't have many options in Bulgaria. And it takes years of waiting until I'm accepted for hormone therapy or legal sex reassignment, as well as a lot of resources.

Not to mention how my parents would feel, I don't know how friends and acquaintances would react too ... I want to add that I'm not influenced in any way by the new wave of "genders", 70+ genders and things like that - I don't believe in that. Obviously, I support the gay community and trans people, but not those who are 15 genders in one. I was educated on the subject, I know that I was born in the wrong body ... But what can I do about it, as I have no options, at least for now ... I tried to suppress it, to be even more feminine, but the feeling of discomfort and disgust with my own self will just finish me off someday. I really don't know if it will last if I keep doing something, which I am not. I know there will be a lot of conservative people in the comments, I expect it. But I'm not confused and this is not something I make up, it is not something frivolous. I want to be able to be truly HAPPY and lead a normal life. But I can not.
