Thank you for sharing part of your story with us DiDi! I personally appreciated it a lot, because for some things i can relate with your story. Of course i don't have the same experience you had in your life, quite the contrary, i haven't had any moment to understand what i am until these last months when i'm having long periods of thought which leads to some doubts and crisis. Luckily i have never been bullied at school but also i have to admit that i never felt femenine the same amount as you did.
Anyways, this last period i have wondered a lot about who am i and who i could have been if i was born girl instead of boy: it could have been the same, but i think sometimes it could have been.. not easier.. but more appropriate in a certain sense, like a lot of memories i had during my childhood could have been less weird if i was a girl. That said i don't feel like a woman inside a man body, and saying i feel like a woman wouldn't be correct.
But.. i never felt too much of a male either, like i'm not sure if that's what i want. This phrase has sounded several times in my head and i'm not sure how should i consider this, not sure what's the meaning of all the doubts and such.
[...] or actually something in between, I'm bit of both, but definitely not an ordinary man.
I liked a lot how you put immediately the phrase "i don't like to label people" , it's like we all have those labels printed inside our heads and can't get rid of them. But labels exists to make things easier to express, i guess? Idk
Hearing about your bullying and hard times made me a little sad, but slightly better when you started to stand up for yourself (although violence isn't good, remember kids! " alt="

, and hearing you slowly understood what (or who) there is inside of you was very good. I'm proud of you DiDi, for opening to us and for finding your path.
