How do I start?

[Ricider]

So I am a transgender female 17 and from Turkey. I have been trying to keep this as a secret for past few years but now I feel more comfortable about sharing it with other people because I have realised that people are mostly ok with it. But I have problems about how I am going to tell this to my family since I don't know if they will be as supportive as my friends are. I am thinking about taking hrt but I don't know how can I access it. I am also concerned about my voice and my height (1.86, 6'1). But I don't know how I am going to do all those. (Sorry about bad english and bad paragraph structure.)

Hi Ricider

Welcome and I hope you enjoy your time here at Susan's.

Most of us seem to start with some kind of gender clinic or therapist so we can access services. Whilst you are having as look at the links below have a look through the Wiki for general information. I am sure other will be along to wish you well



Regards

Liz

Welcome!

Admitting it to yourself and on a public forum is bold step in itself, so congratulations!

You should be able to google a trans friendly doctor, clinic or gender center near you. depending on where you live.

I'm a non-transitioning, partially transmale person, and qualify for being genderfluid, bigender, androgynous, etc., but there are many here who are like you.
