    So, I recently discovered I am a guy and I really wanna go on T and all that stuff. I want to be someone's boyfriend and would like to be seen as a boy but when I think about being with a girl as a guy, I feel like I have this lesbian-ish mindset still that straight relationships are boring, how men are boring.

    So when I think about relationships now, I'm always like, wow why do girls even like men?
    EVEN though I still would prefer to be a guy and go on dates as a guy and everything!

    Does anyone else get this feeling? I literally feel like I'm just brainwashed into thinking so many bad things about being straight or just men in general. I don't like it and it is confusing and makes me feel like I am not really transgender/an actual guy.:bang:

    I was never a lesbian but I do have a similar mindset about relationships. I want to date a guy and be some guys boyfriend, but at the same time I feel like I have to be the girl in any relationship (mostly because that was what I was taught growing uo)

    As well when it came to liking male pronouns as a kid I was strongly told by my female teachers that I was giving into what men wanted. That men wanted me to think being a guy was cool, or that male pronouns were the best, or such things.
