tired and confused

[erewhon]

Hello all,
I'm glad i've found this place finally. You see, i'm an 18 year old very confused about myself. I know i'm not "female" like i'm supposed to be. I've known for about 4-5 yrs now. I'm not sure what I am, but I know i'm tired of hiding it. I haven't told anyone, not even my parents. The thing that gets me though is the fact that I was born as a normal girl, the doctors I guess never noticed anything nor did my parents, I didn't even know until I was 13-14 and even then I didn't completely understand what I was until a little over a year ago I did some research and realized that I was intersexed. I don't want to live like this anymore and i've started doing some research on surguries to fix me. I just can't get over the fact that everything was perfectly normal until I hit the age where most people hit puberty, and then my body starts showing me that something's not right.

I'm just really glad i've found this place, it feels so good to get these feelings off my chest.
