Welcome to Susan's Place Victoria. Telling your parents and seeing a gender therapist are the first steps you should take. As for what your life will be like, nobody can say. If you remain as you are, you will continue to feel the way you do and it will get worst over time. Many of the people on this site range in age from 40 to 70 however they made the decision not to face this when they were younger. The have finally reached the point where transitioning is their only option. Transitioning at a younger age is better because Testosterone continues to alter your looks making transitioning more difficult and more expensive. If you have questions, feel free to ask them and we will do our best to answer them.
