A few months ago I began questioning my gender. Well, for a very long time I always had that feeling that something was off with me, but I just didn’t know what. Finally it emerged from the depth of my mind what felt off. It is my gender. I’m so used to being a girl a doing things labeled for girls, but within the past year I’ve felt out of place with my gender. I still enjoy doing things labeled as girl things, but I feel like I’m not in the right body. My mind is like a guy, but I’ve been raised as a girl, so, as a girl, I’m straight, but I can’t help but feel gay, as if liking a guy is weird. However, I also feel weird when I got my first crush on a girl. It felt wrong to like a girl. It’s kinda funny though. Some of my preferences for guys are things some label as girl things, like a guy having long hair. Jeez. It feels so weird, yet so right. I don’t know. I know if I tell my mother she’ll just roll or eyes and/ or just say “whatever” like she always does. But I’m being serious. She doesn’t seem to understand certain things about me. My gender… I seriously feel like a guy who was raised like a girl and I’m finally beginning to realize my true gender. I don’t really know though. I feel like maybe I’m confused, but I think I feel like I am only because I believe that is what everybody will tell me. It’s difficult when you’re sixteen, going on seventeen, and having to try and figure yourself out…
