What is it like growing up transgender?

Well a lot of transwomen and transmen will probably tell a similar story, just that early in life a lot of us started realizing that the way we felt inside was not the way everyone was seeing us on the outside. I often identified with other little girls although I was a little boy at the time, and wanted to play with the little girls and be among them and have the attention of the boys, and stuff. But as I got older I realized that I was not being seen as a little girl and that there was something different about me. So most of us just realized early on that there was some dissonance between the way we felt inside and the way society perceived us.
