It's strange, but that's what I sometimes feel. I'm a woman (24), and sometimes I imagine myself looking like a man and it makes me feel free. I want to believe it's just a random thought, like when you change your hair color and your life feels better for a few days, but then it goes back to how it was. But sometimes I just think about it, and I don't like how I see myself. I have breasts, hips I'm a woman, and somewhat attractive but honestly, that's not something I care about that much. I just want to feel like myself. I've been trying to make small changes to see how I feel. I don't feel like myself when people call me by my real (female) name, so I've been using a more neutral name with people who don't know me yet and it makes me feel good. I've also had moments of euphoria when I cut my hair short. It makes me feel more like myself. I don't know why, but it does. I recently started dating guys and this thought is always in my mind: this isn't me, he sees me as a woman and he likes that about me, but I don't like it at all....
I'm afraid of being labeled as trans. I want to believe that what I'm going through is something else, and at the same time I don't know if I should listen to myself or keep ignoring this. Part of me hopes that talking to a psychologist would help me understandthat maybe this is just who I am, and that that's okay. Or something like that.I've been having these thoughts and questions for 5 years and I don't know any trans people in my real life, so that's why I'm here, looking for some kind of help
