Title: 18 yo beginning to transition
Post by: Kingrymua on February 09, 2015, 02:56:43 AM
Hello there, so I'm Ryan, I just came out about transitioning and my families completely okay with it. Tho I haven't told my mom.. Okay getting off the subject, I'm 18 about to be 19 on the 25th. I'm looking into therapists at the moment, but I need help on how to start this? I'm a makeup artist and I mean I'm no where masculine or butch looking lol but idk I just need help especially some opinions from other grans women.

 Hey there Ryan! Welcome!

Therapists shouldn't be too hard to find. You can try psychology today, or ask local LGBT organizations for local referrals.

If you're in NYC/north NJ I also have a few recommendations.

You and I share the same birth name. I will be  changing mine soon though.

Enjoy the ride!
