I'm FtM, but I've decided to stay rather on the down until I move out.

No dating, no transitioning besides wearing a binder and possibly buying cologne. When I'm by myself I may try to pass as a boy, but with people around.. No thanks.

I'm am currently tomboy to everyone I know.

I have an interest in "boy" things, I wear boys clothing (or masculine - gender neutral girls clothing), my hair is short, I want to play "boyish" sports, all my friends are boys, I dislike looking too feminine (I'd rather be effeminate), I'm not fond of makeup or getting my hair done, etc.

My family knows about my boyishness and they're more than fine with it. But..

My grandma have accidentally slipped a few times and said I need a "girlfriend", but I presume it was just a slip of the tongue.

My mom asked me whether I was a lesbian or not, which I replied with saying I liked no one (which is sort of true, though I may or may not have a romantic attraction to girls).

My grandma is always pestering me, jokingly, with the notion that I need a boyfriend. I always react in a negative "Ew, no!" or "I'm too young" sort of way.

I'm wondering if my parents are beginning to mistake my sexuality. You know how people believe stereotypes so often..

My mom told me how my grandma and aunts thought she was a lesbian when she was younger, just because she doesn't dress up all girly and drool over boys. She's gotten called a lesbian in recent years too, just because she dresses in a boyish fashion (t-shirt and pants).
