Mens High Heels

Am I a "transgender" if:?

(First off, I have a female body but I want a male body) I am NOT a "typical" boy; meaning I don't wear boys clothing but I dont wear dresses either. I am simply androgynous, I wear whatever I want. I don't act like a boy or a girl. I just act like myself...but I know things were definitely WRONG when I hit puberty, and as soon as that happened I started covering up everything that showed female in me such as breasts...Well I was just wondering because most articles I read and the videos I watched states that transgender people knew at a very early age..but for me, I didn't realize it before puberty.

1. yeah, i believe so
2. Titties are nice! Don't cover them up!
3. I'm a transguy. I didn't really realize I was "different" until about puberty (5th grade to be exact). When all the other girls in my class were excited about "training bras" I was excited about 4 wheelers and chemistry and the ability to blow sh*t up.
4. Only you can determine for yourself if you are transgender or not. Typically transgender means being a certain sex (in your case, you were born with a female body), but identifying with the other gender (gender only means society's expectation of how a person - boy or girl - should act).

5. Your transgender if your happy with your body but dress as the other gender.Your Transexual if you have a deep desire to be or have always felt you were born the other gender.Ftm's seem more comfortable with the term transgender while mtf's for the most part aren't happy with it.I have known from my earliest recolections that I am TS.It' sounds as if you are either shy of your female bits or are just androgynous but you might also be TS.Search your feelings about who you are and which gender do you really relate to and why, your answer lies somewhere in there.
6. Only you know the answer to this one.
7. None of us can tell for sure, but it's certainly possible. Puberty does tend to be the time when these things really become intense. Aside from the physical changes, that's also the age at which you start to be capable of abstract thought. A four year old may be trans, but may not have either the language or the conceptual skills to consciously comprehend this. And not all men are conventionally masculine. Not all men want to wear highly gendered clothing. Not all men are even straight. I'm a trans man, I'm also gay, and a huge fairy. You don't have to act any particular way, or subscribe to any particular style of clothing, to be a man.
