    So I've known for a while that I am pansexual. And I always have felt like I'm a female. And I accepted that however for about five years I've been lying to myself and keeping a secret. I don't feel like I'm 100% female. My feelings about my gender are kinda hard to explain. I feel like I was born a boy even though I wasn't and that I made the transition to a female. But I've never been a boy, I just feel like a transgender boy living as a girl. I don't understand it. It's not like I want to be a boy because I love being a girl. But I can't overcome these feelings. Can anyone help me understand this? :help:

    So what DO you want to be? If you could present yourself as anything, nobody would question it...boy, girl, something else?

    So two questions then.

    1. What makes you feel like a boy
    2. What do you do to feel like a girl

    I feel like I act like a boy. Walk like one, talk like one. I wear full makeup all the time to feel more feminine. I wear skirts and bows allot but I just feel like I'm trying to hard. Sometimes I feel like I look like I'm in drag. Also since originally posting this, I've been diagnosed with multiple personality disorder.
