2) Did you always know that you should have been born the opposite sex, or did that come abit later though you always knew you were different? 
 
3) When did you decide to come out, and how did you come out?

 1. I have always always always felt different, and like many simply lacked the language. I too had prayed as a child to become the boy I know I am. Of course to no avail. 
 
2. Yes. I remember being confused because I didnt understand the girls, and always hanging out with the boys. In my 20's I began to learn about trans stuff and I've slowly begun to grasp at the language to explain myself. 
 
3. The only people who know me as trans are in my comfort zone. I can out queer to friends at 15, family at 18 and 20. I am hesitant to come out to family as trans even though I am fairly sure they will be fine with it. I'm pretty anti-emotion and I hate the idea that I *may* make my mother cry. I hope not, but still. 
 
Linus.. thanks for the thread!
