I was texting my friend and mentioned being a bit down. After a bit of interrogation, I admitted that the main thing bothering me wasI hate being a guy. His reponse: "So? Change"
Not sure what I expected, but a bit more of a reaction than that! Still, great to get it off my chest to at least one person. One step at a time I guess :)

It's so weird how unaffected ppl have been by it. Way more do than telling ppl I like to date men. It's pretty rad! I think everyone has that one person who struggles with it in their circle tho. Unfortunately that person is often your significant other. I hope it felt great to get that off your chest!

That's great news, sounds like your friend will stick by you if you begin to transition or already have.

And that, Kieran, is how you know that this person genuinely is your friend. How wonderful for you.
I'm glad you now have somebody you can speak to about this, but you always had the folks here as well; Don't forget that.
The folks here are an invaluable resource. You're not alone. Nice feeling, Huh?
Take your time about speaking with your dad. Don't rush yourself to anything you were not ready for yet.
PM me if you need to talk.
;),
