I have always liked boy stuff like NASCAR, football, Die-cast cars, but I have felt that my body was wrong.

The steel tastes so sweet,

Not all guys like that stuff. razz
I think what thats called is being a tomboy.
I could be wrong.

I give up, I admit defeat.

This is bad advice and you should stop giving it.

Then what would be better advice?

Well, how about any piece of advice that doesn't write off someone's gender identity and self-identification in the very first part of their sentence?

"I am transgender"
"LOL U R JUST A TOMBOY"

I have been thinking about the transgender sexuality... other related terms.
Maybe interests have nothing to do with it at all.
Maybe it is just about how you feel and if you feel comfortable or not.
I don't know if I am right or not, I am just thinking and since this is a forum, I decided to post it.

You're welcome. I would say the next thing you should do, if you do feel transgender, is research up on it, and if you feel you really are transgender, to try finding acceptance. When I first posted in here, I was thinking the same thing, and for awhile, after researching up, I felt I really was transgender, and when I thought I was, I went to my friends for acceptance and support. They easily embraced me and my new found identity, it was family however that didn't.

Hello. I'm not sure how to answer that question. I thought I had figured out I was transgender/lesbian around this time last year, but a few months after making the realization, and maybe it was because my mother really ridiculed me for the whole transgender thing, I realized I'm just a very feminine male.

And the Ikari is from Neon Geneis Evangelion. I use to have a crush on the main character, Shinji Ikari.

I have read some information on it and it explains something except there one thing I don't get. The difference between transgender and transsexual.

The only real difference is that transgender is a more broad term. It includes people who also cross dress or have sex change surgeries. I was more in the cross dress category, because I really wanted to get to wear bras and panties and cute dresses and skirts and whatnot, but didn't want to go so far as to have any surgeries. Transsexual is someone who strongly feels they're in the wrong body, and goes to great lengths to be the gender they feel they truly are, even going as far has having surgeries to change their anatomy.

Okay then I am definately not transsexual, surgury scares the heck out of me. Maybe If i felt extremly strong about being in the wrong body, i would consider doing the surgury.

I know what you mean. I felt like deep inside I was a woman, but I never wanted to go that far. I don't like surgery either, and I panic whenever I have to go under. Surgery would definitely be the final step. As far as I know though, before undergoing it, you're required to cross-dress and live your life as the sex you feel you are for one year, to make sure you can live as what your new sex would be after the operation. Personally for me, cross-dress is all I would need to be happy. No surgery required.

I will say though, after talking to you, I feel transgender once more. I honestly stopped thinking about it because it upset my mother so much, and this is the first time it's come back to my mind since.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with him. ^^;

I think I am definetely transgender. I felt like I didn't fit into the stereotype of a girl. I had "boy " interests so that confused me. Though part of me did like wearing dresses and feeling pretty. those girls that dress in all pink and carry their purses at their elbow, that was never me. That the image I grew up with girls are dainty and delicate. I can understand a guy who wants to dress like a girl could wear shirts and pretty shirts and stuff. But the other way around. I have no idea what a girl dressing as a guy would wear.
