FTM here. I haven't done any transistion yet in any way, but I'm starting to get depressed and going in public now irritates me, because I look female still. I didn't really even know I was trans (even though I should have known) until about 6 months ago. I go to therapy and that helps... I plan to transistion this coming June. I'm scared and confused, but it's hard to be in public now and I have to go somewhere today and it's really depressing me... Is this a normal feeling about being in public? I mean, I get really ANNOYED and RAGE like. :(

I'm not rageful to others, I just feel very angry about myself. and now knowing that i'm trans makes me feel so much more odd in public. I'm kind to others, no one would know I'm so angry at all. Please don't say this is a psyc issiue. I know I'm not a psycho... I cannot pass w/o hormone or surgery so that won't help to just dress like it. Nevermid then... maybe it was a dumb question.

First, change your Yahoo handle... you're NOT no one, you're someone! I won't tell you I understand your confusion, I'm heterosexual... but I know your desires are natural and no fault of your own. Be yourself... no matter where life leads you, and to hell with what others might think!!

So, what is the confusion? It sounds like the therapy might be helping. Other than that, the annoyance, rage, and irritation of going out public is all internal. If you are experiencing hostility, then that's difference. Otherwise, this sounds like a mental/psyc issue to work out, not a physical/gender issue.

I never felt that way in public. I just feel generally awkward.
Maybe it's on your mind now so it bothers you a lot more. Does dressing like a boy help? I would get a boy haircut and wear boy clothes.
