Hi faux,
Welcome to the forum. It is interesting, but a few years ago, I hardly heard of F2M, mostly it was M2F, and now there are as many F2M as M2F. That is quite interesting.
I feel for you and your parents. I went through the same deal keeping things secret at all costs for years, because I was afraid. It took me years to build up the courage. I am glad that I finally came out, but I understand that I was not ready before, because I had to grow inside and be comfortable with me. I had to get used to the fact and I am trans and be accepting of it. It almost sounds crazy, when you first thing about it, but it makes sense too.
Although I am the complete opposite than you and still at the beginning, I am happy to answer any questions, as are I presume everyone else here.
Congratulations on getting the nerve to finally open up.
Question for you, if you do not mind. Did you always know but were afraid to ask, or is your being trans something that gradually came up and something that you are realizing now. You did not mention that. Did you always feel different from other girls?
My whole life has been experiencing things from an M2F point of view. I am quite curious about how someone else experiences it.
I hope that living in Tennessee will not be an issue. That is a very highly red state, although there is a trans community there. I used to correspond briefly with an M2F person several years back, who lived in Tennessee and she was fine. She kept talking about Southern Comfort, which from what I remember is in that area.
