    Hey all,

    I am a 14 y/o male (born male) and for the majority of my life I have not given my gender a second thought and been comfortable with it as such. But in the past month I have suddenly started questioning my gender and panicking about it. This started because I realised that I do not find gay sex appealing or arousing. I prefer the thought of vaginal sex and find it much more arousing.

    What do you think this means about my gender/sexuality?

    Many thanks

    So by vaginal sex you mean you would prefer to be penetrated vaginally?

    I think so. It appeals to me more. So essentially I think I might prefer to be a woman but ONLY sexually. Not in any other aspect of life.

    That's not the same as being transgender

    You just value being a woman sexually. It's hard to call that I wouldn't say it's transgender because unless you feel uncomfortable in your own body and think about being a woman other than sexual then i wouldn't say it's transgender but only you can decide what it is and what it's not. If you are happy with yourself then I wouldn't say your trans

    Thank you for your response. I do tend to be an anxious person who fixates and I think I have also just panicked and convinced myself I am trans.

    What you have is a fetish, being transgender is a biological phenomenon where your brain doesn't match up with your biological sex.
