Something kind of big.

So... *gulp* I got something to say. Never thought I'd be saying this, or admitting it, but...
I've just recently embraced the fact that I'm transsexual. I don't feel like my male body is right at all. And I've technically known for a long time, I'm not masculine at all- I hate sports, I'm kind of a quiet, bookish shut-in, I'm emotional and difficult, the list goes on. I used to chase butterflies when I was supposed to be goal-tending in soccer, for god's sake. After kind of a tough time growing up, moving around all the time, disliking my father-figures, and being heartbroken by best friends and random classmates alike (the latter of which turned out almost all being lesbians, actually) I started to feel like maybe I'd be better off if I was a girl. People might actually like me then, and I could potentially get the girls that I liked.
And now recently I haven't been feeling right in this body at all. I hate being expected to have shortish hair, I hate having to deal with a scraggly, weak, dirty-looking beard, I hate having to live up to so many social norms for men that I just can't say I actually care about, I hate having male organs... I just hate being male. So, after talking with a successful transfemale, I've... embraced it. Still a bit shy and embarrassed, especially out in the real world, but.. I'm making progress.
Yay me~! Also, I've kinda figured what my name'll be, if I do change.
I'm quite partial to "Nora."
