Are there many young trans?

[FlinchCat]

Smart lad. It's ungodly expensive here though.
Still a great state all in all. Just overcrowded, gas prices are terrible, infrastructure is crumbling apart, and we are always struggling with water.

I have some family there that I can live with, with a lot of extra space. I could move right now and I'd be fine. OOH.

And it's in the mountains. With forests and such.

 Well, what I really want to do next is to show my father that I'm not being "convinced" by someone to be transgender
Also, I wanna start the endo appointments soon.

Up North then? I have family there as well. It's very idyllic compared to where I'm living. Though I do still love the desert and our Joshua trees.

Good luck with your endeavors.

That is tricky and I hope that goes well for you. This was something I was never able to convince my parents of. Be prepared if they want to lay the blame on someone you know, or a community you are a part of. They might not be easily swayed.
I hope your father is more level headed and rational though. That would be great.

Do you think showing this or parts of it might help ?

It's actually the southernmost mountains you can get (Ithink), Idyllwild.

Going to line up here too.
I am a 17 years old transgirl o3o

 I don't live with my parents, but my mother will come to visit next week. I think I'll write a letter, attach this post from Bedford Hope on it and sneak it in my mother's bag when she leaves.

I really need to deliver this message to my parents but i find myself unable to do it in person right now.

You're not the only one 
Many do it with a letter, or via text.

That's a good letter. It may be helpful for a lot of younger people here who are just coming out. I hope it is used.

I live on my own so it's not as bad for me. My parents have made up their mind and refuse to educate themselves or reach out to others. I've tried.
My father did get some therapy because of the affect my "decisions" have had on him. But I don't know how that ended up going. We don't talk much.

I might be kind of late to the discussion, but I'm 13 and trans. Everyone says that it's just hormones and tumblr that's "making" me trans but I've learned to deal with it.

Oh, Colorado is also a good place to go to. There aren't a lot of religious people there and theres a lot of laws that protect trans and gay individuals. i live there.

Never let some one convince you otherwise or make you question yourself. Heh i live in Ohio but I'm not even out yet so i don't know the reactions ill get yet.

[MicheleGui]

Oh hey, just needed to share something.

Next weekend my grandparents will celebrate their 60 years of marriage with a big family dinner.
I'm still closeted for most of my family, and my father and sisters are putting pressure for me to cut my hair shorter. It's not long, but I don't wanna cut it. I wanna grow it so much more.

This has been stressing me, even though it sounds kinda silly. I've been feeling really bad lately for stuff like this. I'm not sure because I'm not a native english speaker, but I think "disphoria" is the word to describe it.

Anyone here on the same boat?

Well you're not the only one...
is it possible to make your hair a bit wet and comb it closer to your head so it looks less long ?
Or is it possible to make a ponytail ?

Glad to know that there are people here around my age.
I'm currently a FtM due to some decisions my parents made when I was around 10 (Was born intersex). But currently I'm planning to transition back, so MtF should be the correct term now...probably.

Sounds complicated o.O

[roseyfox]

Well i hope everything works out with that situation. I think that people who are born intersex should make the decision when they turn 16 and not there parents.

[Austin Rodgers]

Right Here, 17 years old. I think there are a lot more transgender youth than we think, they just choose to suppress it due to conservative parents.

[Tyler]

I'm almost 16 \o/ (snapchat is realbromantis if anyone wants to add me

[Sebby Michelango]

I'm 15 years old.
