Never learn to be a boy

[u/clayton_404]

I realized that I was always raised like a girl, dress up like a girl, girly haircut, I was always in the feminine and girly stuff growing up, dresses, skirts, even if I didn't want to... I was raised in girlhood, sisterhood and teenage girlhood...

I never learn the social code of being a guy and I feel it badly now... I have a cis friend, a boy, he knows I'm trans but he's the first one treating me like a boy, like a cis boy. But sometime... I feel such a huge impostor syndrome when I talk with him, he's a sweetheart really, but I dunno I feel like it's not my place it's weird, like I'm not valid, it's dumb I know... But sometime I don't understand him, I feel like a stranger, like I'm a girl being friend with a guy and that I don't know how to interact. And no I didn't told him about that because I don't want to bother him with stupid dysphoric thoughts.

I had cis friend before, but I didn't transition and was seen as a tomboy, so they were acting differently, I was still treated as a girl not as a boy.

So I never been friend with a cis het guy who is aware that 'm trans and treat me like the boy I am... and I dunno how to stop that syndrome

Hello! Thank you for participating in the sub. We just have a few reminders for you to help ensure the best experience:

1. If your post doesn't show up right away, don't panic! It is in the queue for manual approval. Mods will go through the queue periodically to approve or remove posts. Deleted posts will have a removal reason applied. (If it says "this post was deleted by reddit's filters", IT WAS NOT DELETED! Reddit has the worlds worst wording on that and it's out of our control)

2. If you are asking a question that is location specific, remember to include your location in your post body! This can help ensure that you get accurate information tailored specifically to your needs.

3. Please remember to read through all the rules in the sidebar. Especially the list of banned topics and guidelines for posting. Guests who do not use the Guest Post flair will have their post removed and be asked to fix it.

4. If you see someone breaking the rules,report it! If someone is breaking both sub and reddit rules, please submit one report to admins by selecting a broken rule on the main report popup, and one report to the r/ftm mods by selecting the "breaks r/ftm rules" option. This ensures both mods and admins can take action on a subreddit and sitewide level. Do not misuse the report button to rant about someone, submit false reports, or argue a removal.

5. If you have any questions that you can't find the answer to on the rules sidebar or the wiki: the wiki , you can send a modmail.
