Okay, my 'coming out' thing is that I wish I was a girl. And I'm not talking getting a sex change and spending my adulthood as a woman, because that's not what I want. I wish more than anything that I'd been born and raised as a female and enjoyed my entire life as one, and I really have no idea why. I've felt it from an early age (I'd estimate about 7-8) and you would never guess it from looking at me, because I'm not the slightest bit feminine on the outside (and any feminine preferences and thoughts I've had have only been recent developments). In fact, my curse seems to be getting all the negative masculine traits in life while still not actually fitting in to the male side of the spectrum, while simultaneously being shunned from the female side because I look and sound like an ugly creep. So there you have it, the only massive secret I keep, and I've just splurged it out to you all. Thanks guys, I don't think I could call any of you friends or say that I know any of you at all, but it's great to have a place where I can actually admit what I've just said.
I'm not even remotely nonplussed by this. Perhaps this is because I've already experienced a friend undergoing the same realization of self, and consequently undergoing the life changes to apply it to their life best as possible. It was strange to get used to the idea, but ultimately, they are much happier living their life as they do now.
