Since I have come to accept myself, I no longer feel like I have to over compensate as a male when I present as a male, which I have to do because of work right now. I admit to myself that I am female, see myself as female and I am somewhat content with my lot. Growing up male, I know all to well how the male gender is encouraged to frown on any sign of femininity. I think this is wrong, and I was always very open with my feelings and as a result most boys kept their distance from me. Anyway I preferred playing with the girls anyway as this better suited my nature. I was not into the rough and tumble of boys' play. I was not one for sports or cars either, so as you can see I had little in common with most males.
When puberty came, I really started to hate my body. Hated the body hair springing up all over the place. Hated the idea of facial hair growing. Hated that another part of my body was getting active. I am thankful though that I never developed an Adam's Apple, nor did my voice change.
