Welcome to Gaia! ::

the best thing to do is ignore what others think. be yourself if they have problems f them they aren't worth your time. your not alone alot of people don't believe me unless they've known me almost my whole life. people can f off. do you hommie do you and be happy.

I'm not thinking of doing hormones or surgery at the moment either. I'm still trying to figure out if I'm trans or somewhere between genders myself, but know this group won't put you down for not being "trans enough" or pressure you into presenting a certain way!

There is no time limit for these things, so just take a deep breath! Do what you feel like doing each day, and go from there 3nodding Tell someone when you feel like telling them, not because you feel obliged to and know that you're not alone heart

got a lucky break today. I went to a friends graduation party and I was easily able to get my parents not to make me wear a skirt with flowers. I would have been so uncomfortable if I had to wear it sweatdrop . I was suprised that they just offered something else and didn't ask a million questions....at least once I'm in college they won't be there to tell me what to wear....

well I've managed to tell my aunt (who is married to another woman). she was supportive fortunately. we've had a very complicated ,often drama filled relationship.....

Well first step nto feeling better is to accept yourself. Acceptance is always the first thing to do. "Especially" with yourself.
