I think I have the courage now

I've been in and out of denial of my true gender for the past several years. I just haven't been able to accept it up until now. One of my close friends came over the other night and we ended up getting into a chat about it, as she is only of the only people that know about me. She assured me that she would always be there for me and she even kicked it up a notch and told me I'd be a handsome dude :) After the chat we had I think I have the courage now to talk to my doctor about seeing a gender therapist. I might even have the guts to talk to my mom about it. Maybe the next time she asks me if I want to be a boy (which she has started asking after the sudden influx of mens old navy clothes) I'll be like, "well mom, there's something I need to talk to you about."

Oh my nerves. lol

Congrats sweetie! Looks like you are on the road to happiness. I think you already have the courage required, it just needs a gentle nudge. Live life large, happy and full of wonder!  :)

Yes, thank you :) I guess it's better to live with no regrets then it is to look back in 25 years and say what if?

I just want to be the guy I know I am on the inside.

Story of my life. Back in my day we had no place like Susan's or the internet. In most places it was illegal to even be gay. A lot has been earned for you so don't let the people down who made it possible to be who you are.

I just want to be the guy I know I am on the inside.

Then go for it! Live your life for all it is worth as we only get one go around on this rock! Let no one discourage you or force you to assimilate as someone you are not. Be you and only accountable to you. No one else has the right to make you conform to their definition of normal.
