I have always considered myself TS.

Sometimes I have wondered if I consider myself TS because it feels 'better' than being a CD---I know that sounds silly but psychologically I always struggled with why I wanted to be a woman (my earliest memories are of wanting to be a girl). Being a CD never fit my wants, hopes and desires.

But my SO always confronts me with her opinion that I must be a CD because I never transitioned and it makes her world seem better.

In the end it really doesn't matter---I still consider myself TS. It has never been about the clothes. It has always been about what is inside my head.
