I always heard growing up only some guys had that, still do hear that too, but I have known for a long time that is not true... So how did that little myth come about?

LOL nope bio females can have it too and just as many of them as there is bio males with it...
I think the fact that most female to male transsexuals tend to eventually blend in and disappear into society make it harder for people to see first hand we do exist.. We tend to have alot easier time passing as our true genders then male to females once we've had some hormone replacement therapy and it takes us alot less time to get there..
Definitely a myth
Im a female to male transsexual..
Ill post a link to my personal website below.. It has personal pictures and tons of information

Do you know what gender Dysphoria is? It is far from a myth and means that a person feels more comfortable living as the opposite sex, sometimes just for a while at a time, like cross dressers. Some people feel they were flat born in the wrong body and want to rectify this oversight. From what I've heard, it happens more to men than women, but does occure in both. One woman I know looks like a man, talks like one, thinks like a guy and just seems to have been born with breasts, which she hates, and the wrong reproductive parts. This is just one type of example. If you want to know you have the right info, there are lots of sites on the net.

I guess that myth arose out of the idea that it's "easier to make a hole than a pole"--in other words, phalloplasty is more difficult than vaginoplasty. Also, some people imagine that any woman would rather be a man if she had the choice.

There are as many females to male transsexuals as male to female transsexuals. Being active in the community I've known some first hand. Many pass well enough that you could not pick them out.

People born physically male OR female can suffer from it. I'll second chris about them blending in and disapprearing. Then again, with how much younger some people are transitioning the mtfs are passing better.

the same way a guy can, it is when there are problems with ur dna and u can have a male body but feel female and maybe even have an extra chromosome. same thing for a female, have a female body but feel male.

it's not a myth. there are plenty of male-to-female transgenders and plenty of female-to-male transgenders.
