    I tried dressing as a guy last night, borrowing my brothers shirts. Big mistake.. he’s very thin, whereas I’m all boobs and belly. Didn’t work at all and was a massive confidence knock.

    I don’t want to be a boy 100% of the time, but I do want to some of the time. I have this idea of how I want to look in my head, and I just don’t think I can achieve it in real life. Too curvy, too short. In my head right now it’s just ‘you’re a girl’ ‘how did you ever think you could be a boy, or look like one’ ‘you can’t be a boy with that body’.

    I really hate it. I hold back feeling like a guy so much because of my body. I hate being gendered as a woman/girl. I am sometimes a woman, but that’s not all I am. I just want to look how I feel :icon_sad:

    I used to wear a coat in hundred degree weather just to keep my boob's from being in the way.

    I know the feeling. Perhaps a shirt and shorts/pants that fit would help.

    Try layers. And stay strong, buddy. I know how difficult it is.

    Yeah, I'm tall with a masculine face but then I'm curvy and have one of the largest chests at school. Freakin great, huh?
