I am 22 years old. All of my friends are girls, and we get along fabulously.

Wow! I think there are easier ways to keep girl friends other than changing your sex. Perhaps the only thing you need to cut off is your current emasculating friends!

So far, POODLE is the ONLY one who has it RIGHT.
A TRANSSEXUAL is someone who is also TRANSGENDERED but has undergone steps to physically change their sex to match the gender in their brain. Transgendered is an umbrella term used to describe anyone who does not conform to traditional gender roles society has placed upon them. All transsexuals are transgendered but not all transgendered people are transsexual. Does that make any sense? You can be transgendered without ever having a sex change, but to be a transsexual, you have to have undergone some sort of permanent anatomy changing procedure to bring you more in line with the sex you desire to be. This does not necessarily involve a sex change, this can be just hormones as well.
As far as if you are transgendered that's entirely a personal, self identification. No one can tell you if you are or are not. If you are transgendered, you will feel like your brain doesn't match your body and you will not conform to the roles society places upon you. You will behave in a gender role different from the way you present as your birth sex. You will try to not look like the sex you were born as as well. Growing up, I had female friends, but I'm still a female to male transsexual. I still have female friends NOW. Who you hang around with doesn't make you who you are. YOU make who you are.

Hi. That doesn't necessarily mean you are transgendered. Many gay men have strong friendships with women too. The transgendered feeling is much more about personal identity than external relationships. Your feeling that you were a girl and not a boy should have manifested itself in childhood. If this is the case, then you need to see a good supportive counselor to help you think about your options.

being friends with girls does not mean your a transgendered person. if you like to dress as the opposite gender then you might be. there are different sub groups in the transgendered community
1) a person who dresses in the opposite gender but does not want to become the opposite gender - crossdresser.
2) a person who is transitioning into the opposite gender - transsexual.
there are more but these are the bigger ones. if you do not fall into these catagories then i doubt you are transgendered.
broken hearted. its you who is wrong. being transgendered does not mean you had a sex change. i know this because i live this. i am a transsexual and i have many friends that just crossdress. transgedered is an umbrella term that covers many sub catagories.

Just as a bit of a nitpick to some of the answers, being transgendered doesn't necessarily imply having had surgery (or even planning to have it.) It's a fairly broad term that covers everything from occasional crossdressing to full-time living as the opposite sex (with or without surgery.)
But other than that, just because all your friends are girls doesn't mean you are or you aren't. The best hint that you might be transgendered is if you enjoy being seen as 'one of the girls' as opposed to prefering to be seen as a guy with exclusively female friends.

first of all a Transsexual undergoes sugary while trans gender is a word that's used to cover a wide spectrum i.e a Transvestite would come under this umbrella. As far has you being transgendered i think you should start wondering about that if you wear girls clothes, wish you born a girl or even feel uncomfortable in the skin your in.

as fas as i know, transgendered usually refers to a person who has undergone surgery to go from m/f or f/m...if you haven't done this, then i doubt you are transgendered yet...you may feel more like a women and get along better with women, thats fine...if you want surgery and can afford it then go ahead and get it done someday. but if you were born a male and still have male parts...you are most deff. still a male.!

if you feel you are a woman trapped in a man's body and want to change your outside to match your inside, then you are probably a transsexual. there are many other subgroups within transgendered...i have no idea where you might fit..if at all...based on the little bit of information you have given.

You may be anything you like to be. Give life a chance to experience what you feel is right. Women can be alot more if they are left to their own devices. If they want to femme you up and you like it go for it. You will be hurting noone and gaining a world of experience that suits you just fine.
