Discovering myself at age that has stuck to this day has been being a femboy. Knew that I was masculine with a touch of being feminine. Did come out to mom about at first and said I needed to discover this with her support. I did and it was 6 weeks after I graduated from high school that I did do it. Walked and welcomed me…
