I couldn't put a name to it until several months ago, actually. It's just that GW doujins were my first exposure to m/m material (yikes), which, over the years and in a very long and twisted journey, somehow led me to a friend interested in gender issues, which somehow ended up here. It's been a good while, pondering my own body and how I relate (or not) to it.

As an aside - I wish I didn't *have* to put a name to it. All I know is that being in a female body and having a female sexuality doesn't feel right, and in retrospect has never really felt right. I am attracted to men, but being with one doesn't feel right as a female. Instead, I want to be with a male as a male.

That's good that you've thought about it, like really good. The way you worded your secret sort of implied direct causation and I was like WOAH NOW BRO.

But if that's how you really feel then I would so go for it. Even if you don't like how it feels knowing that you are trans, you get to embrace yourself as who you are. Also you can take T and get swole! That's pretty cool dude.

That's the problem with f!s - you only have so much space to get your thoughts down, and then there are going to be people who misinterpret them, hone in on one particular detail, etc...

Amazing how one single thing can have so many repercussions way later on, though.

This is me exactly. I'm glad that you were able to come to this decision, no matter by what means, and I wish you luck :)

That road sounds quite reasonable to me seeing it in full.

In the same manner, I (a trans woman) met a friend who was trans through a video game, which later lead to my coming out and transitioning a number of years ago. The paths to opening up to ourselves can come in strange ways, but it's no less valid to be through fandom than through say meeting a friend who has some interest in gender issues in college, at work, in a bar, or so on.
