Reply To: How Do You Know if You Are Trans?

[Polly]

I’ve known since I was a kid that I’m not like other guys. Their toys are cars, soldier; But what I like is girls’ toys. I was crying and asking my mom to buy me a Barbie. At the time, I didn’t know the concept of transgender, so I just thought I should be feminine. Since I went to junior high school, I found that I like boys. I have a crush on a boy in my class, but I’m afraid to say it. I thought I was supposed to be gay. But it’s a little different from being gay. I’m crazy about girly things. I want to be a girl. I want to live as a girl. There was a time when I was very confused and miserable and I didn’t know what kind of person I really was. Then I searched the Internet for people who felt the same way as me, and gradually I came to know the concept of transgender. I knew right then and there that I was transgender. I am now a true transgender woman and have a boyfriend who loves me. My boyfriend and I also met on a dating app called TransFun. This app is specially designed for dating couples. Because of the emergence of these apps, it has become easier for us transgender people to date. I think the Internet is really a boon to mankind.
