I... Don't really know what to say. I don't even know what name to give you guys... I guess I'll just tell you all my story?
I grew up as Emily. Pretty much everyone knows me by that name now anyway... I've always been kind of pushed in the vague direction of being a "girly girl," and I've always gone along with it, but I've always had this nagging in the back of my mind that... that wasn't really me. But in a way it was? It's hard to explain.
See, for the past year or so, I've started feeling more and more like I'm NOT in the right body. But with that I've been almost overcompensating, trying to make myself look more and more femine. I started almost trying to FORCE myself to be a girl. The thing is... That's not me.
I came to this site because I need help. I want to start transitioning. I want to become the MALE that I know I am. But I don't know how I could possibly come out to my parents, or my friends, or anyone in my life. I need help. Badly. But for now, I guess...

Hello Aquarius,
You've come to the right place to learn about and have what you need to decide what it is you want to do next. Many start with a therapist to help guide them through some trying times and sort out the confusing feelings that come with not fitting into the expected mold.
