well for 15 years I've been living as a guy. I never identified as one. I always felt different. I've also looked female much of my childhood. I sound female and for 15 am quite small. Also just started to grow breasts and have a female figure hips and shape pretty much only male characteristic is that I'm tall and I'm bigger boned than the average female. I am actually female at least how I see it. My dr. diagnosed me with klinefelter's syndrome and I've decided to live a girl from now on as my body physically is in that direction. Some people would assume I'm just trans but technically I have an interrsex condition but the thing is like I have no real close friends and am changing schools but I'd wish to be close with my bf still we've been together 2 years and we're totally in love yet I don't want to freak him out about this. I don't know how do I do this? What am I supposed to do with our future if I can't feel comfortable to tell him. Advice?

Wait I'm so very confused... So you've been living as a guy so does your bf think that you're a dude? which would make him gay? But yet you say you look/sound like a girl, so does he think your a chick?

I've been known to be male all my life. My bf has always claimed to be straight but he thought I was a guy because that was how I was reared and everything socially was that of a normal guy. People mature at different points so it's sometimes hard to tell.

If iwas you I would slowly break it to him, explain the situation and just be honest. It will probably be hard for him to take it all in but give him time to adjust and think it over

Do you look like a girl though? face/hair etc? if he's dating you for two years and thought you were a guy why would he say he's straight?

But id just explain it to him ya know, if he's straight i dont think he'd have a problem with you being a girl..?

I have a feminine face. But things like hair and stuff aren't girly. I've always tried to be traditional but I just have feminine characteristics. He's secret about our relationship. I think coming out as a girl would give the impression I'm trans and I don't know how that would go?
