Help on coming out

[OneDaySoon]

Hey all,
I've done a lot of thinking and reflection recently and have finally decided that I want to go through with transitioning. The problem is I'm young and my family is rather conservative, I'm not sure how well they'd react to this and if they didn't like it I wouldn't have any other options because I'm still at school and in no way do I have the money to move out. I also have a girlfriend of 3 years who I love dearly and desperately don't want to lose, she's bisexual and would have no problem with being with a girl I'm just not sure about a tgirl.
So, I was just hoping some of you could provide some experience, tips or advice to help me out in any way.
Thanks

I don't really have any advice to offer, but I just wanted to say that I'm sure your girlfriend will still love you. You still have the same sweet soul inside that she fell in love with, after all.

I think the best move would be to talk this through with your girl friend.

Hi, does your school have a therapist or counselor you'd be comfortable discussing this with? Ideally I would recommend a therapist specializing in gender issues. Don't go it alone.

I agree. This is step one.
