TRANS* IS NOT A CRIME, This will sound horrible, but I feel bad for considering myself trans*. Deep down I’m overjoyed when my friends call me “he”, and would love to present as male when I go out places. But when I’m home, around my parents, my family, is when I feel bad. I know if I ever told them, they would just think I’m attention seeking, or being rebellious. And if I wasn’t that, I shouldn’t “flaunt it” because it’s not a big deal. I’m embarrassed, and I feel like I should just be a girl to make them happy.

Hey buddy- keep in mind you don’t have to come out to your family. It’s okay to present as male out in public and with your friends, but be known as female with your family. It’s not a lie, it’s not “keeping something” from them, perhaps it’s just more comfortable for you?

I was also told at a young age not to flaunt anything, for me it was sexuality, then gender. I’m sure if you came to them separately, maybe starting with one parent first, and just said you needed to tell them something that’s been on your mind, it would go over okay.

However, I’ll leave this up for followers to answer, but again, if you need one solid person to talk to, you can come off anon and ask my email or go through tumblr.

Cheers
