    Recently I've been feeling moderately dysphoric about my body/gender. I'm not sure which this would be considered. Recently I've felt as if I was born with the wrong genitalia. This isn't the first time I've felt like this but it's an incredibly on and off feeling. I feel like everything else about me is correct, how I dresa, look, act, my gender identity, my sexuality, and everything else. I just feel like I should have been born with female genitalia instead of male genitalia but still have everything else about me the same. I don't know what this is called and I've never heard of anyone else feeling like this. I feel alone and unsure of what to do. If anyone else has feelings like this, please message me in private.

    I'm sorry you feel this way, and I know how uncomfortable it can be.

    I don't have the privileges to send private messages yet (must be a full member), but if you want we could post on each others wall, or here? I'd love to help you where I can.

    You aren't alone. There are many people here who are going through very similar situations and can help you sort through this.

    Well thank you for your help and support. I just don't know if what you suggested was correct. When I was born, my gender was assigned as male I feel like I should still be considered male but instead of having male genitalia, having female genitalia. This could just be me not understanding fully what transgender/transsexual mean or me not making it clear or just a misunderstanding between the two of us.
