Sometimes I think it's even more bothersome to be asked what gender you are when you're obviously a girl and not a tranny. I was in my babybat years (10-12) and this little girl asked me if I was a boy or girl just because I had tripp pants and a baggy band shirt on. Pft, I wasn't the girliest back then but it was very insulting. I just think it's somewhat worse to say that to an obvious girl as opposed to a fem ftm. I thought you were a girl at first, but you're just a pretty man.

@metaldorksforever666 im not sure how you see that but its not that way at all. i would rather be asked, a million times to one, what i prefer to use as my pronouns than to have someone assume.

this is not in any way a attack on who you are or how you live, but if your trans why dont you start hormones?

@itachi1145 are you dense?

I have a question...well...I identify with being a boy and I feel that I AM a boy, but I still like to wear girly things and after I tell people that I am a boy, they still call me she. I understand if it's a stranger, but my family have been teasing me about being trans, that it makes me want to die. Am I not really a boy if I still like girly things? Does that make me any less of a male than someone who was biologically born that way? Please help...

@Pillowie as they said before there are Femme FTMs. im not girly, as they put it, but i am femme. and i enjoy that. remember that biological men are all different as are trans men. there is no one true way to be a man. <3

@MakeJakeFake Alternative measures being VIOLENCE!!! I have said this many times and will say it many more times...Who needs a gun more than a queer in small town America. ;)

Just a quick little comment here, But you have REALLY changed my life. And it's advice like this that gets me through the day, THANK YOU. Thank you so much, I feel like even though we've never spoken you're out there and you care about me, and that means the WORLD to me!

@VampyreofNightmares I don't know if we're seeing the same video, but I see no bitching. I see a guy talking about some stuff he went through and giving advice to others who may find themselves in a similar situation.

I study in a class full of idiots, really. No one even TRIES.

Sometimes I have to take a step back from everything and realize it's all bullshit and it's bad for you!

[Ktuhnu]

That's why I love my native language. There is only one word to describe a person, man or a woman. No separation between femine or masculine. (Just for clarification, it's not "it".)

[marrrvelous]

if you were that comfortable in your own skin, you wouldn't care who refers you as a man or a woman. that's the basic truth. a true strong person is defined by the things they do, not what gender they are. perhaps, when you get a bit older you will realize that and I hope for your sake you do.

[VampyreofNightmares]

Ummm, if you are really secure in your "Sexuality", then just shrug it off and laugh like everyone else does. Don't cause such a bitch-fit about it. So what if someone calls you a "he", "she", or hell, "it"? Drama Llama much? Yeah, I'm a bitch, so what? Call me it, I don't care. Pronouns are just words. And, for the record, you do look like a girl. You should look yourself up on the Drama Encyclopedia. Stop bitching and get over it.

[Suileblahblah]

The harpoons. Man them.

[MinkJester]

What about people like me, who will go by either pronoun and never correct people? I've never had a problem with it due to that...

[WierdElla]

Joji, although the issues you are talking about do not necicerily fit with me it is very comforting to know that someone so smart and level headed who has been through alot is reassuring and sticking up for us misfits:) but saying that, I have had a taster of what it must be like for a trans person to be insulted like that, although most of the insults i get involve something creative like "go die emo shit" apparently the best way to insult me is to comment on my shot hair and continually ask m
