My thoughts and curiosity (IE what runs through my mind at any given time)

So I’ve finally opened up about myself. I’ve managed to tell my mom, some of my coworkers, a few friends, and even my psychologist. And sometimes I hate it. I know how I am, what I am, and how I act, but it seems like admitting it openly like this is just something of a crime.

I was asked by a coworker who’d heard what I’d told a manager at work (in private) through the grape vine and asked me if it was true. I told her yeah, I figured why lie anymore? So a few nights later she started asking me about it, really getting me thinking.

So why do you feel this way?
Why? I dunno, I’ve just always felt this way. I’ve never really felt…girlish. Not exactly sure how else to put it really. I mean I’m me and I live in a female body, but I’ve never really seemed to ‘fit’. When all the other girls would act one way I thought it was kinda funny they’d act that way. Then I started realizing that…well, I was acting more like the guys.
