as do I , but I know I have a loooooooooooooooooooooong road to get there. most of my close friends already see me as female, but I want to look how I feel on the inside. just thought I would throw in my 2 cents

OMG, ME TOO..and I'm on the road slowly with female hormones & therapy, but damm it, I just wish i'd wake up as one forever.
I was looking at pics of my friend/roomie Renee yesterday and instead of thinking, OMG, she's HOT, I was like ....omg, that lucky bitch has been a woman all her life, i'm soo envious.

All i would ask of you is to remember this one little thing- all the women out there learn to accept their short comings and enhance their attributes.

Sometimes we can inadvertently hold ourselves to unrealistic standards which adds to the emotional burden that can be debilitating-

It's true- it does take time, therapy and your adjustment. Until then knowing the different manufacturers, their styles, cuts and sizing can deliver you earlier from the awkward phases associated with what maybe this stage of your transition.

Google for "Gaffs" and avoid certain types of under ware until you find what works for you!

I wishn I was a woman also. Have you noticed how your view of women is after you started to think this way. I wish you the best whatever you decide to do.

Hello jess07. If it's womens underwear (panties) you are looking for to help you feel like a girl, it really isn't as hard as you may think. Check online size charts and experiment with different brands. Not all panties have the same fit.

As for wanting to be a girl, that comes from inside. Wearing girls cloths only enhances the real you. Question? When you first wake up in the morning, do you feel male or female? It seems that's the time when who you really are is more dominate. There is so much more to being a girl (woman) than most people realize. You are young and it is so important to identify with who you are inside. It will make your journey oh so much easier.

So many people hide the real person inside and as they grow older, they find themselves being who the world wants and keeping their feelings deep inside. I have always believed, it's better to be honest with who you truely are. There will be some hurt along the way, but as all things do, it too will pass and you can get on with your journey. Take care of yourself.

I know what you mean Jess
I wish I could be a girl but I cant at the mintue. I often wish i could wake up as a girl in the mourning with a perfect figure. I could recomd some sites to you if you wanted

I don't want you to think I am judging you by any means but I have to ask is it that you feel like a girl or you want to be one? There is a difference. It's your life and I wont tell you what to do, but if its the latter of the two you might seek therapy. What I mean by this is I felt I was a girl since I was 4 and played Barbie and did all the other girly stuff. I had no idea that I was any different than other girls until I was closer to 10 yrs old. So to me it's not that I want to be a girl I know I am a girl.

I can relate to how you feel, but as Katie said, you need to figure out if you are a girl stuck inside a boy, or a boy who wishes to be a girl. counsoling could be helpful to you

I am new to this site and just wanting to understand. I don't know anyone in your situation but I would like to learn to be empathetic to other people's needs. You sound so troubled inside. It must be very difficult to want to be someone else. I am a female and have never been happy with my body. Most of us aren't. Does it help people who feel the way you do to move away before that begin the process of changing over to the other sex? Everyone wants acceptance from their families. I spent a lifetime trying to gain acceptance from my family and never have. Does your family know that you want to be a female? What's the difference if they know it compared to you doing it? If they are going to love you and accept you, they will no matter what. People can be cruel inside and outside of your family and I know it must be a great burden to you to think that you may have to give up some family /friends to be who you want to be. You cannot please everyone, all the time. Those who really love you will accept you for whomever you are or choose to be. It is easier said than done, I know. I am a woman and I still wish I could wake up with a perfect girl figure. LOL. Best wishes to you. I just wish i could make you see how important it is in life to be who you are, not what other people want you to be.

I've wished I were a girl since I was 4.
I know I can't get to what I would REALLY want--childbirth. But I'm getting as close as I can. Got green light from my psych. Now, only putting money together.
