Hey, it's Justin, this is just me needing to vent.

I hate my body. People don't get it. They say 'Oh, but you're such a pretty girl!' No. I'm not. I'm a guy. No one understands. They don't get why I wear at least 3 jackets, even in the blistering heat. They don't get why I always cut my hair so short, or only wear guy's clothes. They just don't get it.

It's so frusturating. I always thought if someone said something offensive, I'd be able to confront them, but my best friends say things like 'fag.' It's all in good fun, I say. They don't really think like that. But do they? I don't know how to feel.

I don't care. I don't give a crap about the pain. Getting scarred ribs will hurt less than looking in the mirror and seeing the equivalent of two tumors on my chest. I want to bind. I need to bind. It's not fair. I hate how my body betrayed me. I want to be a guy. I don't want this life. This life isn't mine, so why am I living it?

Relate so much i swear. I can't even leave the house and its like you're trapped inside a body that isn't even you and nobody gets it. My niece called me a homo and has no respect and my aunt told me i'd be a ugly boy if i were to be one. Only one time someone in public actually treated me like a guy and it gave me hope. Its so fucking hard and my moms always yelling at me and i feel so alone and its a real god damn struggle that nobody knows unless they go thru it themselves. Its so sad. You can't help but have so much hate and pain. Pain becomes so normal. Im trying to be positive and shit but why people are so small minded and all. ( im new to this site but i really want ti make friends that can understand me and stuff but im here for you and would like to become friends if you're interested. Its not easy on this path alone :/ )

I can relate too, I'm a guy in a girl's body. I think we need to accept the fact that we were born like this and then we can do things what makes us more comfortable.. (I know this is easy to say and sounds impossible to do) I can't accept my body either, but no one knows it, they think I'm crazy to do such things like cutting my hair short and wear "horrible" boys' clothes.. But I want to believe that one day I can live the way I want to, and people would see me as the guy who I am, and I think that's what keeps me alive. Anyway if you need to talk I'm here.

Hey Justin, I'm new to this support group too. I may not be going through exactly what you are, but I do agree it is disappointing to wake up every morning and see the girl body in the place of the male body I want. Always here to chat and help if it's needed, I know what it's like to go through things alone, but I came out alright in the end, and you will too. Things always get better, never give up.
