I'm sorry if this is attention seeking, I'm trying not to be...

Ever since I was a kid, I was different from other girls. I wanted to be a boy. Since I knew boys had penises, I wanted a penis too. I wanted to be like my dad. Though he turned out to be not a good person, I didn't know that at my young age.

I wanted to hang out with boys and do "what the boys did", not what the girls did.

I didn't like makeup or dresses, but I just thought I was a tomboy or a boyish girl. But do boyish girls want penises? Do girls who want to be like their fathers feel the way I do? Well, I guess some of them do.

But my grandpa and dad have convinced me that all I will ever be is a girl. Just a confused girl masquerading as a guy. Just a confused girl who society has "pushed an agenda on".

I don't like rough labor either which I see stereotypically with guys and stuff, but I do like weight lifting and that gives me gender euphoria. I would take T to help me get stronger but to my internalized transphobic brain (I'm working on that), it's cheating.

If you want to use my name(s) in your reply, by the way, I'm Larry or Scott. Alex or Mikey is fine too.

As a father of a FtM young boy I'm doing my best to make sure he doesn't need to worry about it as much as I can do that. I'm really sorry your father and grandfather haven't been supportive. But, that's just their ignorance. I've had to do a lot of research into this stuff and I took some time before I fully accepted it. But, now I'm really worried by the idea that ignorant people will tell him he's just a confused girl and likely a lot worse. Those ideas really are just ignorance that isn't aligned with the real world.

I really hope you can feel free to be yourself.

Also T isn't cheating. It's what you give to a boy/man who's body doesn't create enough of it, no matter what gender they're assigned at birth.
