I've felt it since puberty started, the ongoing constant sense of lacking... Now that I'm 16 I should be in the throughs of puberty and I am, technically... I have some acne, hair is starting to appear places, but you can pick me out of a crowd as looking more like an 8th grader than a sophomore, albeit taller...
As I look at your peers, they all seem 'more.' More confident, more comfortable in their own skin, excited about what's happening in their bodies... Well, at least they HAVE stuff happening in their bodies...
With the the research validating people doing better across the board when they get to be who they feel like being (shocker), and the Identity Protection Acts and reforms that were passed in the prior century, transitioning genders is practically seamless and very much accepted, unidentifiable even, as many are starting before things ramp up.
I however have the opposite problem, I identify with my gender at birth. I'm looking forward to becoming and embracing my adult role as a member of the (obviously) most awesome gender that exists! Why anyone would transition away from it is beyond my understanding but, frankly, more power to them.
My problem, is that somehow, people who started as the opposite gender, along with others who stayed the same gender, are all more developed than I am!
The girls have boobs and supple skin, are wearing makeup, and having periods. The guys are gaining muscle, dropping their voice, and starting to shave... and here I am, a tall toddler with a few strands of pubic hair... When I tried to talk to anyone including my doctor about it, the response is a weird look of disgust like I'm trying to steal from a homeless person. I'm told, "The procedure isn't intended for you so just wait," but if I was transitioning into my gender and looked the way I did they would be upping my dosage!
I'm not excluded, I'm just left behind. That's why I have done all my research assignments on the technology. Now I'm ready to implement my plan...
