Do I like guys??
In the last year or so I have been putting together the fact that I think I’m a trans guy. This realization about myself has been a huge relief and helped re-contextualize a lot of things about myself. Since I was nine years old I’ve known that I liked girls, and I’ve been identifying as a masc lesbian since I was eleven years old. What I’m confused about is the fact that I feel weirdly attracted to one of my guy friends?? I really can’t tell if it’s just trans stuff that’s making me feel this way, like gender envy, the gender euphoria I get when I talk to him, etc. or if it’s genuinely romantic attraction. I’ve known him for about two years now and I think about him all the time. I want to be just like him, I think he’s super cool. It’s like I have this weird obsession with him. I even dream about him sometimes. I’ve never felt like this about a guy before so I’m kind of baffled. All my life I’ve only liked girls. I’m not interested in dating this guy either, the idea of us being a couple irks me, but at the same time I stutter like an idiot when I’m around him and I care more about the attention he gives me then girls’ attention. Maybe it’s just internalized misogyny? On top of that, I have a hard time picturing myself being in a relationship with a woman in some aspects (specifically physical aspects) but that may be because of my dysphoria that I project onto women’s bodies, if that makes sense. I’m also confused because I’ve been experiencing a similar attraction-type feeling with male bodies. When I was younger I used to feel grossed-out by them but now I find myself admiring men’s physiques and appearances in general in a way I never have before. There’s lots of other stuff I could mention too but I won’t since this post is pretty long. I wouldn’t be thinking this much of it but I feel so intensely about this stuff that it’s genuinely making me wonder if I’m bi or something. I don’t know, any thoughts?
