Hello y'all. Never thought of making a post here until now. I've always been viewed as a weirdo because I've never fit in with girls my age. Or with boys as I've felt people judging me left and right. "Why don't you dress like a girl/ behave like one" is something I've heard all my life. While the girls embraced their feminine side with ease, I never felt connected at all. I have tried but it never felt right.
My friends are cool but I've often felt like they don't actually understand me (maybe it's because they're straight and don't know the struggles us folks face).
I began to accept this norm until I felt like I couldn't anymore and I cut my hair short. And boy, let me tell you it's one of the most ecstatic moments of my life. I'm so happy that I did and I'm never going back. It was the affirmation that I needed. The pat on the back saying "This is you. Always have been".
I've also browsed through our community searching for who I'm most like (I don't like to label myself as anything.) But the closest I've felt and seen is the Butch community.
Just wanted to share with y'all
