First time posting something. So I will start like this- I am still in high school. I have told people about my future plans to transition.
To get a sex change. I am going to be graduating next year. I don't know where to start, I have anxiety! ???

Think you're already started.
One step at a time.
And before I forget, Big Welcome to you.

Agreed if you have told people, you are already on your way.It's a good sign that you have accepted this already and are able to communicate it.
The anxiety does lessen ( I 'm not sure it ever fully goes away) as you become more comfortable just being who you are. 99% of acceptance, comes fom within you and i self acceptance. Once you can do that, the stress melts away.Welcome.

Thanks, it's great to be able to talk about these things to people other than my therapist. ^-^

Hey Girl,
Just ask question and you should get plenty of good advice around here. So, yeah, happy transition

Therapy, therapy and therapy! nearly all therapists work on a sliding scale, if you are still so young and do not have much money, I am sure a good gender therapist will not turn you down, and will charge a minimal affordable fee.
I mention Gender Specialist, because this is very important and a crucial point. Non Gender Specialist can in fact make more damage without proper understanding and clear direction of where to go with it.
Love, Inna
