Question - (21 January 2011) 0 Answers - (Newest, )
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I want to look like a boy, but I don't want to be a boy. Why is that? Ever since second grade I've been in love with short hair, I look on youtube and theres a transgender boy and I get so jealous about how he dresses. His hair, everything. I can't even get a tomboy haircut, let alone a actual boy haircut. I know for a fact I am not trans. But, I just want to have the look of a boy. And I don't know why, I am just so depressed knowing I want to look like a boy, but I cant. I'm seriously sitting in my bedroom ready to cry.

I'm confused about this, and I'm confused about my sexuality..

I know for a fact that I want to look like a boy because I have wanted to since second grade. I was soooo happy with my little boy haircut.

I've always been 'tomboyish' I use to climb trees, play in the mud. Everything. I hung out with mostly boys. Girls my age were already into make up, they wanted to be cheerleaders, [ i know boys can be cheerleaders. ] they wanted to wear all these pretty dresses. And they wanted to gossip.

While, I, wanted to ride bikes, swim, climb, run around, play on scooters, skateboard, etc.

Also, how do I tell my mom I want to look like a boy? Cause she knows how confused I am about my sexuality, I don't want her to think that I am super confused about this too. And, I know she wouldn't believe me, or really condone it.

Please help.

Oh, I will be 14 in February of this year. So, that makes me 13.

Thanks!
