View Full Version : Paranoid about being Transgender

First, some context; I'm a 17 year old male teen suffering from constant paranoia; I worry and obsess about numerous things like my sexuality, if I or a close one have a disease, if a terrible disaster might happen, the rapture, etc

My current obsession is wondering if it's possible for me to somehow gradually become transgender? I've always felt I was comfortable as a male, I'm secure in my heterosexuality now, and it's only yesterday that these paranoid thoughts began.

I first wondered what it's like to be a girl, out of a sense to see how different it feels, but I'm afraid I'll somehow start to 'like it' and stop being wanting to be male, which I don't want. I read that with some transgenders the thoughts used to come and go gradually, and that REALLY worries me. Is this all denial? Were 17 years of living happily as a boy denial?

I've never felt as a child that I was born in the wrong body, but with what I've read I don't know what to think :(

Stop reading shit man. If you are comfortable as a boy, that is all there is to it. A lot of stuff on the Internet is just bullshit and is not true. You have nothing to worry about here; we all wonder what it is like to be the opposite gender, but actually taking the leap to become the opposite gender is something completely different. And if you feel like this, I don't think that is something that you want to do
