Think I'm gay, but could I be trans?

    Hey all,

    I am a 14 y/o, born male, and I think I am gay. Since I was about 11/12 I have had strong feelings only for men and not women. But before that, from about 7-12 I was completely attracted to women and breasts and such things. It was like suddenly, I had gone from straight to gay.

    This has got me thinking and panicking recently, that I might be trans. Because I realised I might have been admiring females rather than being attracted to them?
    Furthermore, I enjoy watching straight porn?

    Up until now I had never given being trans a thought and have never questioned my gender...

    I am very, very confused and would love to hear your thoughts?

    You didn't give much detail but based on what you did give, you don't sound trans, not at least to me.

    Do you feel like a female? Do you think you were born in the wrong body?

    Admiring females and watching straight porn doesn't mean you're trans.

    I don't really understand what being born in the wrong body is supposed to feel like.

    It feels like you should have breasts and a vagina instead of a penis basically. If you feel comfortable with your body then your answers may lay elsewhere.

    I wouldn't say I feel comfortable or uncomfortable with my body, it's just there and I have never thought about that much. Would you say that counts as feeling comfortable with my body? Thank you for you answer by the way.

    I don't really know how to explain it but I will ask you this; If you were given the chance to change your sex to female at no costs, pain free, and no negative effects, would you?

    I'd say yes, and even people who are not trans get uncomfortable with their body at times, but it's a really nuanced subject for why a person might want to transition and it's a very very hard and hurting process to go through. The best I could say is if nothing is wrong don't try to fix it =]
