Hello,

So for a long time I thought I was transgendered, (ftm) just because I felt physically wrong in my body. I would look in a mirror and not recognize it. I've never felt like a male, I've never felt like a female, so it was very confusing. I do not have any mental issues that I know of, but now that I am older how I feel sounds a bit crazy. I do not feel like I should be a person at all, I do not feel like I should have a body at all. Being a physical form feels strange and confusing to me. That's why I prefer being on the internet or playing video games, because I can detach my mind from my physical body and forget it for a while. I've always wondered if there are other people out there that feel the way I do. So much of how I feel is similar to how transgendered individuals feel, but its not about the gender for me. Now that I'm older and out of that puberty stage I know it has nothing to do with what sexual organs I have. Sorry if this question isn't really related, but I've never heard of anyone feeling as if they should not be a physical being unless they are crazy and screaming on the streets. I've never expressed these feelings to anyone for fear of ridicule but its something I live with everyday.

Kyle: Hey there, it’s not crazy at all. My answer isn’t going to come from being a trans person, but from a more new age perspective. Many faith traditions recognize that physical form is just one type of manifestation of energy—though level of importance changes between views, some people see everything in existence as simple energy. Maybe try looking into some communities exploring this type of thought and see what you can find; and if you find you still think you’re trans, the community will always be here.
