Hi guys, I'm completely new here. Actually, I've been trying to find somewhere, something like this for a long time.

I see men like me walking out on the street every once and a while, so I know that I'm not alone. Yet I've never met someone my age going through the same thing and just talked to them about any of this.

I don't want to whine about my unaccepting parents or things with girls. I just want someone to connect with and understand parts about myself that I couldn't before.

Welcome to Susan's. I think you will find a lot of information here.

I see men like me walking out on the street every once and a while, so I know that I'm not alone. Yet I've never met someone my age going through the same thing and just talked to them about any of this.

I'm not sure what you mean about men like you. Are you FTM or MTF or something else like CD?

I don't want to whine about my unaccepting parents or things with girls. I just want someone to connect with and understand parts about myself that I couldn't before.

I think some of the whine goes with the territory of being like minded or having similar experiences and shoring how to deal with them as well as having a place to let off a little steam sometimes. Either way there are many people here who may understand you. It does help if you share a little about yourself.

Hi Adrian,
Welcome but a little more info may help people chat too you. Lots of different people here, most with fairly typical background stories. Now I can relate to lots of girls who have had the same problems as I. And there are lots of guys who had the same problems in reverse. People here are helpful and usually polite :laugh: so feel free to expand on your background. BTW I'm in Australia and there are many people here from all around the world.

Come make yourself comfy. We don't bite... often.

But all joking aside don't be too shy. We all have interesting backgrounds that raise a brow or two. So you should fit right in.

You've found a great place to make friends and express yourself

Welcome to Susan's, Adrian. :)

There's a lot of variety here, so you may find you fit in well.  Tell us a little more about yourself, look around and explore, ask questions, and let us get to know you a little.

And like Virginia, I'll only bite if you're really nice to me.  ;D

Welcome!

Don't hesitate to ask for help or opinions.  We have plenty to offer.  Over the past few years, I've made some good friends here as well.

You're right, I should have made myself a bit more clear.  ;D

I identify as male, but I was born a girl. I'm not currently on T or going through the initial steps because my parents don't agree with me or support me in doing anything to make myself more comfortable. (I'm also only 16 years old, so I'm not sure if I can be on T.)
When I did tell my parents, my father didn't accept at all, while my mom told me that she doesn't agree but does want to me to go a therapist to know if I'm really right.
It's been almost half a year and I'm still not going to any therapist. I really want to get it over with, you know? I know who I am. If a therapist tells my mom what I already know, then she'll trust their word.

But one of the reasons that my parents won't believe me, and one thing that confuses me, is that I was almost a typical girl when I was younger. I didn't care or think about clothes, I just wore what I had. I didn't play with girls toys, but I think that's typical. Nothing truly happened until I was ten, and even then I didn't know what was going on or think of it this way.

I hope some of that helped!

Welcome- A therapist is a good place to start for both you and your parents. Hopefully you can start that sometime soon!
