Hey,
My biological name is Alyssa, but I go by Alexi or (preferably) Billi. I am from NC, USA and have more recently come to understand I am FtM. I started feeling that way a long time ago, but only now am starting to comprehend my feelings.
I haven't told any of my friends yet because I am not sure of how they'll react, and also because I am still very confused. I have told my parents, though, and they are very supportive of me. Well, at least I'd like to think so. My dad doesn't say anything about it, but if he does, he makes a joke (not one that's hurtful, more lighthearted). My mom is just confused. Supportive, but confused. She thinks because I'm not an utter tomboy, a lesbian, and manly looking already, that it's not possible. I'm a pretty androgynous person, really. Because of that I've questioned a bit whether or not I'm trans, just as I have been questioned by my parents about it.She and I agreed on a therapist and the therapist told me that it doesn't have to do with any of those things at all though. Nonetheless, I still feel the way I do no matter what the people around me on a daily basis are saying.
I don't know much of anyone else I can talk to about this subject other than my parents and the therapist, so I wanted to find a place where I could hopefully get some advice/support/etc. from people who really understand how these sort of things feel.
Thanks!
~Billi
