    I have wished I was a boy, and known myself as a boy, since about age 7, if not earlier. I used to pull on myself to try to "stretch" my sex into a penis (OK, sometimes I still do, just to pretend, lol), pee standing up, get really confused and jealous when an adult would say "girls over here and boys over there," and then they'd lump me in with the girls and I'd stare across the room thinking, I need to be over there. It NEVER felt right. I hated my breasts the moment they started budding at age 10.

    The problem was my religious zealot of a mother, who scared me so bad into thinking thoughts like that would put me in hell, that I kept silent about so much. But I started secretly dressing like a boy when I was 12, tucking my hair into a hat and passing to some strangers. And f### passing felt incredible!! I could no longer do it by age 14, though, because my stupid boobs got huge.

    I'm 27 now and still hiding. Ugh.

    I always had an idea, I just tried to hide it. Looking back, I can remember a few times throughout my childhood. I remembered that at one point I convinced myself that I could live as a masculine gay woman. That worked for a while. So then I came out as genderqueer thinking that would make it better. I eventually just admitted to myself that I was trasngender.

    I remember before I knew what Transgender meant, I thought that I had deformed male organs and that I had to​be a girl because of that. So I forced myself into ballet and cheerleading because I felt like that's what everyone wanted me to be.

    Yeah, I've felt like a boy since I was little. Always hung around with boys and wore masculine clothes. I used to convince myself that there was no difference between males and females so I did have a male body, it was just my parents telling me I was meant to a girl.

    For as long as I can remember, so four at the very least. I knew I was a boy deep down, even if I wasn't a stereotypical rough and rowdy one. It was weird to say the least when I unintentionally discovered what packing was when I was about eight, and how it crushed some of the dysphoria I had; and finding out that medically transitioning was a thing, I broke down because I was so happy.
