Listening to this and finding out outside of one study listed by stoker science doesn't know why we are trans and trying to decide if we should be allowed to who we are. Sadly I was raised on this method where I was told you are male and sh I uld only be male. I with I was able to move fowarth sooner and didn't need to wait till I was over 30 to be able to get my first dress and start hormones instead of wishing I had breast and different plumming. It's sad being told it was a phase for 26 years and I hope that things get better in the future and... and now I'm feeling a bit sad and happy that I can finally be who I am and worried that it may be to late for me to become true to myself.

I think that's pretty much a standard upbringing for 99% of us.

It's never too late. Make the best of today, plan for tomorrow to be even better.

Thank you both.  I'm working with my therapist again and hopefully things will be different.  The things that were holding me back before are gone. 

I think that's pretty much a standard upbringing for 99% of us.

I just think it's sad that this is such a common thing with how we are and I'd entered middle school as a girl if my family was more openergy minded but then again they barely believed in adhd as an issue so I'm not suprised.

I just sometimes get scared and worried to the point the fear makes me go back into a all she'll for protection and think how I shouldn't be this way because it's wrong and and and... yet only one therapist over my life ever said I was depressed and not a scared girl. She isn't as old as I am but that may also be part of me repressing things. It still makes me sad at how flat my chest is but I'm scared of letting the world see for fear of what they would say. I'm lost but seeking help again.
