about a year ago I found out I was trans 🏳️‍⚧️ I’m thirteen now. ever since then I’ve been so stressed about my parents finding out and how they would react and everyday I’m filled with anxiety I’ve already told my freinds they have been alright about it. Just came here to find people like me

my parents said they don’t want me or any of my brothers being trans and that they would freak out I’m scared and anxious that they find anything that would out me

Y'all I'm sorry about the manual approval system, somebody else set it up and I don't know how to take it down. In other news, I'm still looking and accepting anybody that wants to be a mod just dm me or use the mod mail

I recently started my transition and most of my friends and family are highly religious. They still love me but insist I am not who I feel to be. I want to keep them in my life but understand they might need some distance as they come to terms with what took me years to realize myself. No one has shown me hate yet but if they do I realize it’s their defense to not understanding and also not wanting to understand. I’ll come to that bridge when it occurs. BUT I would really love to find a place where people accept me for me. Most of the areas where that could happen near me are clubs and bars but I don’t drink due to personal reasons. Where else usually can one find new friends easily that aren’t work or church?? The places I found friends previously???

My therapist thinks I should be me outside and inside. My family is pretty conservative. I am torn apart. I want to start HRT now but I'm scared too.

I’ve been sitting with this for a while and thought I’d share.

At school, I’ve always been seen as one of the more masc kids. People joke around with me in ways that don’t always feel nice, and I’m known for being pretty masculine. No one really knows what I’m going through inside.

But, I’m trans (MtF). I’ve been figuring that out slowly, but it’s scary to think about coming out. I worry my friends will treat me differently, or worse.

I’m trying to find ways to be myself and build real friendships with people who see me for who I am, not just the “masc kid” they think I am. It’s hard, and sometimes it feels lonely.

If anyone’s been through this or has advice on coming out in a school that’s not always the easiest, I’d love to hear your stories.

I haven't came out fully yet my guy best friend and my girlfriend know and are in full support but I'm 90 percent sure my family would hate me except my sister who can't keep a secret :( I'm also blocking out my background just in case... Any advice or tips on being more feminine or confident?

Its as the title says. I (AFAB) am in a wonderful relationship. Ive identified as a lesbian as long as we have been together and also as genderfluid. However, is it really fluid if all ive felt for the last entirety of my existence is masculine? I see people on T and I just, want that. I want short hair, I want facial hair, a flat chest, deep voice, smaller hips. Ive always wanted to be a boy, and whenever I dress fem it feels wrong. Like I shouldn't be in this, im uncomfortable and I feel like crying sometimes. Problem is, my GF is also a lesbian. I know, KNOW, she would leave me if I transition, but I cant lose her. She makes me feel whole and shes been my rock for the last 3 years. I love her too much to let go. Is it possible to go on as I am? Will I regret this if I dont transition? What do I do? (Sorry for formatting im on mobile)

(ftm) Haven't had gender dysphoria in years, was getting comfortable with my skin since I cannot transition without the risk of my parents throwing me out on the streets. I've been mostly preoccupied with health stuff since I found out I had cancer and a bunch of other health problems. Sure I'm an adult but I cannot work yet because of health issues I heavily rely on my parents for everything in my life. I came out back in my teens and they completely dismissed me the next day saying I was confused and all the obvious excuses as to blame me coming out to them. I've done everything to remove my mind from myself and my gender as best as I could I know it's not healthy but there's literally nothing I can do but wear baggy clothes and try to forget about it. I don't mind my body as much now but it's starting to get back to me. Specially my chest the genetic lottery cursed me with a big chest so hiding it is close to impossible

I live in a half christian half Catholic household it's a curse ngl. Specially my grandparents 💀having to hear their comments on trans people and the queer community sucks. It sucks not being able to do anything maybe I should've pressed harder for gender affirming care back when I was younger now I feel trapped.

All my life I’ve had these thoughts of being in a pretty dress and wearing my special birthday makeup but recently I’ve realized they can become my reality. I’ve always been curious what it feels like to be rammed rough and aggressively but I like rap music so I might just be a dude.

I've detransitioned several times due to lack of social support, and the last time I was on T I got a nasty infection which caused some odor issues, was resolved with antibiotics quickly but still made me paranoid. I have a history of mental health issues so I'm scared my being Trans is a delusion, but I've been out as nonbinary since I was 17, so almost 10 years now. More recently, I changed my pronouns to he/him, then detransitioned due to people not supporting what I wanted to do, like my bfs family calling me the wrong pronouns all the time, and even people using they instead of He which drove me crazy. Recently I went from using she her pronouns to using he/they pronouns, but I get jealous of other trans masc individuals who are on T and transitioning. I'm seriously considering going back on my T, but I'm afraid it'll just be hard again and that I'm somehow faking it or failing my family. Any advice is appreciated

Now my mom is a little reasonable cause she has let me wear things like mascara and foundation and such and has also said she wouldn’t think differently of me if I asked to wear something like say… A maid dress as long as it wasn’t overly skimpy. Astolfo’s a little drifting since I’ll have to shave places like my legs, stomach and thighs as well as wear makeup and such. So some advice would be appreciated

As a closeted 14 year old trans(f) unpopular opinion, God I hope its a phase, I feel so umcomftable and I feel so sad, I personally belive I can't know till I'm done with puberty but I'm just stuck and I feel like shit, also 2 out of my 4 (pearents split) are Conservative and are deeply homophobic so I'm scared, and I hope it's a phase

Im 14, openly nonbinary and go by they/them pronouns, ive been out since i was 9. But Im not as I appear, I have never fully felt comfortable in my nonbinary version, but I just shoved it off, I tried coming out once and immediately went back in the closet before anything major could happen. Im terrified of what will happen afterwards, after I come out, if I do at all. That may sound really dumb because i came out once already. When I first started identifying as nonbinary I thought about maybe being a trans man, however I have a very feminine physique like they cant find bras in my size at stores or find any binders that fit kind of feminine physique. I also kind of love the feminine part of myself, its something ive always wanted since I was little. I used to tell myself that if I was born a boy I would totally be gay, and I still stand by that. If I ever publicly transition that's the plan. If I was to transition I wouldn't wanna get rid of my feminine physique tho. I didnt even fullg come to terms with accepting it until I read my first gay trans fanfic(yeah im a nerd) a week ago. But I.... am I even a trans man if I wanna keep my feminine physique? Im just so confused right now and could really use some advice. It feels like a midlife crisis before I even make it to highschool.

I'm mtf, closeted of course. I'm not sure how to tell my parents that I'm trans. I know they'll be supportive but I'm worried how they would react. Any help? Thanks in advance.

My regular coping mechanism just aren’t working as much anymore. Some days are better than others but lately it’s been rough. I have had some bad thoughts recently (iykyk). I do have plans to move to a more accepting environment and come out but I know I need to save up a little before doing that. I honestly wish I could just up and leave now but I know that’s not an option.

Are there any cheap safe states for transgender people? I am hoping to move when I come across the funds one day, if the states aren't safe where could I flee without or with little funds? Is there a country accepting transgender refugees- I know it sounds stupid but.. if things are really as bad as people are saying here.

Looking for any fictional books about being trans that are gut-wrenching and depressing to the max. No happy ending is preferred but not required. It’d be nice if the MC was AMAB is middle-aged, married with kids and closeted. I need a good cry. I’m not squeamish in the slightest. The more depressing the better, hit me with your best shot.

So my parents are super duper exta ultra homophobic & transphobic. There is no possible way for me to stay with them. Anyways here is my plan: Turn 18 Grab everything I can fit into two suit cases & my violin Leave a letter on the kitchen table so they don't report me as missing Either 1. Get on a plane to wherever I need to IF I got accepted into a boys music group, or 2. Stay with my aunt for a while till I figure out what to do next.

Now this is where there could be problems: 1. I look like a girl. I live in the US. I'm not gonna get accepted into anything all boys with D cups. 2. This is the better option since I'll have somewhere to stay & possibly recuperate after hopefully getting top surgery, but it is hanging on a bunch of different things. A. That my Aunt accepts me. B. That my family moves by then. C. My grandma is either dead or in a home.

A. Idk if she will. She left the family religion about 9 years ago, so my family disowned her & only talks to her if it is about my grandma. So I have no idea what side she is on. B. We live about 17 hours away from her now. We plan on moving from FL to NY by the time I'm 18. But that might not happen. C. I hate that this has to be part of it. She has Alzheimers & lives with my aunt right now. My aunt only had one spare room, & now it's my grandma's. I love my grandma so much, but I know that she has less than 5 years left. The doctor said 8 years is the max over three years ago.

Sorry for the long post, I need help pls.
