My story, I guess it's odd. I'm 28, in college, oh and I used to be a girl. No, not FtM, I did the MtF thing and even lived full time from 2004-2006 before going 'Actually, this is reaaaaaally close but I don't quite want to be a girl, I want to be a very girly boy who gets to play 'girl' on occasion too'. What can I say? No one said 'Girly boy' was an option before transsition and I didn't even know it existed. So I see people here talking about hopes and dreams of transsition and it feels odd when the best I can say is 'Yeah, I did that... Then I kinda got bored with that'.
Gender wise, well... Hey, once you've been a girl for two years being a very girly boy is kinda stupidly easy. Really, it's just different pronouns and no padded bra. So, while I read about people here so curiously trying out girly things and looking for advice, I'm the college boy who half his classmates refer to with female pronouns (Not an insult, they just have trouble seeing me as a 'guy') and most of his professors use female pronouns with. I only own panties, only have mostly girls shirts and various accessories. Long hair, I do my own pigtails when I wanna. In the summer I'll wear daisy dukes with soft shaved legs. Why? It's cute and I like it. Frankly, no one even cares if I do it. Hey, I've had girls in my class braid my hair even. :) I like boys and I make no effort to hide that and I don't fear what people will think about it. So I read all of these 'comming out' stories and it's like 'I really can't offer anything to help, I can't relate to this'.
I can't relate to the roleplay that goes on, it's my real life. That said, I realize many can't live the life I live or they don't want to because they have other lives they are VERY happy living with and how I live would just be a 'hobby' for them. Or they just have entirely different desires. So I see it and... I can't relate to the games of pretend people here play.
...I also don't get the lust for pastel pink... But that's really just because I think a Hot Topicy 'Black + Hot Pink' is a cooler use of of the color pink. :)
The caption pages and all of the fantasy art, agian, I just can't relate. I have a closet full of diapers, drawers full of cute tops and socks, long hair, hot pink sheets on my bed and stuffed animals all across it, I should fit right in here but I look around and I actually feel like a freak.
Worst part is, everyone else seems to be having a lot more fun with it.
