Well said CM213.
It's funny how we find we have some things in common. I remember when I was little, I would rather play with girls. When we went to pur cousins, I would play dolls with my girl cousin while my brother was out playing with my older cousin, it may have been an age thing, my brother and older cousin were the same age and I was the same age as my girl cousin. I also remember praying to be a girl, then when I was 12 something bad happened to me and shame set in and I completely stopped trusting men, and relationships were tough because I became a hopeless alcoholic, that screwed me up for years.
About 13 years ago I came to terms with a lot of things, including my gender disforyia, for lack of a better term.
That's my back story. Happily married now, my wife knows about my past and loves me for who I am, we even get our nails done together, I wish we could clothes shop together but shopping stresses her out. So I shop alone, I can get her to the bra store sometimes but that's about it.
