It's been a while since I have been on here. I had an account but I forgot the email and password. In the past, I was very concerned of my school telling my mother about my coming out. Yes, it did happen. No I did not get punished.
She told me I still have to go to therapy because I choose whatever I want to wear. And she said because of my identity. I wanted to try to "fix things" so I told her I was a "girl" and she responded with "No. You're a boy inside and I do not like that." The therapy isn't at all conversion therapy or religious. But the therapist is the same religion as her. And my mom also sees her. Therapy doesn't help me at all and I've been struggling with so many things. Mainly dysphoria but it's OK. I'm privileged enough to even have a breast binder!
But the only thought that haunts me all the time is moving out when I turn eighteen.

Welcome back to Susan's Place. If you remember your screen name, sometimes the old and new account can be merged. It takes several steps to do it so you need to be on often enough to complete the process. If you only had a few post in the old account, it may not be worth the trouble for you to do it.

If you have a binder and the therapist agrees you are a boy inside, it isn't conversion therapy. The thing about therapy is you on get out of it what you put into it. If you don't talk freely with the therapist, the therapist can't help you solve your problems. Some of your discomfort will remain with you until you are well into the transition. How you deal with others and accepting who you are can be addressed in therapy.

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
