Susan's Place Transgender Resources

No offense or anything, I was just wondering if there were many of here at or under the age of 20.

me(well maybe only mentally)

o/ here!
I'm 19

Lol stephaniec thats good to hear young at heart. Hey MicheleGui how are you and nice to meet you!!!!

Hi Rose, nice to meet you.
I'm doing great, thanks.

Im 18 here o/

13

oooooo

Brilliant it nice to meet you all! So how are all of you and what do you guys like to do?

I just sit around and play video games all day. Not like I can do much else.

I like games but my favorite hobby is skate boarding.

I mostly draw a lot. Besides drawing for fun, I'm currently working on a cover for a graphic novel and some character concepts for a game I'm trying to make with some friends from college.

If I will ever (in one or two years) find a doctor, get a meeting with him/her and can get hormones, than yes...
18 now

Well, you don't have to be on hormones to be trans. It just means that you will have started your transition ; )

Move to California as soon as humanly possible.

Smart lad. It's ungodly expensive here though.
Still a great state all in all. Just overcrowded, gas prices are terrible, infrastructure is crumbling apart, and we are always struggling with water.

I have some family there that I can live with, with a lot of extra space. I could move right now and I'd be fine. OOH.

And it's in the mountains. With forests and such.

 Well, what I really want to do next is to show my father that I'm not being "convinced" by someone to be transgender
Also, I wanna start the endo appointments soon.

Up North then? I have family there as well. It's very idyllic compared to where I'm living. Though I do still love the desert and our Joshua trees.

Good luck with your endeavors.

That is tricky and I hope that goes well for you. This was something I was never able to convince my parents of. Be prepared if they want to lay the blame on someone you know, or a community you are a part of. They might not be easily swayed.
I hope your father is more level headed and rational though. That would be great.

Do you think showing this or parts of it might help ?

It's actually the southernmost mountains you can get (Ithink), Idyllwild.

Going to line up here too.
I am a 17 years old transgirl o3o

 I don't live with my parents, but my mother will come to visit next week. I think I'll write a letter, attach this post from Bedford Hope on it and sneak it in my mother's bag when she leaves.

I really need to deliver this message to my parents but i find myself unable to do it in person right now.

That's a good letter. It may be helpful for a lot of younger people here who are just coming out. I hope it is used.

I live on my own so it's not as bad for me. My parents have made up their mind and refuse to educate themselves or reach out to others. I've tried.
My father did get some therapy because of the affect my "decisions" have had on him. But I don't know how that ended up going. We don't talk much.

I might be kind of late to the discussion, but I'm 13 and trans. Everyone says that it's just hormones and tumblr that's "making" me trans but I've learned to deal with it. :-\

Oh, Colorado is also a good place to go to. There aren't a lot of religious people there and theres a lot of laws that protect trans and gay individuals. :) i live there.

Never let some one convince you otherwise or make you question yourself. Heh i live in Ohio but I'm not even out yet so i don't know the reactions ill get yet.

Oh hey, just needed to share something.

Next weekend my grandparents will celebrate their 60 years of marriage with a big family dinner.
I'm still closeted for most of my family, and my father and sisters are putting pressure for me to cut my hair shorter. It's not long, but I don't wanna cut it. I wanna grow it so much more.

This has been stressing me, even though it sounds kinda silly. I've been feeling really bad lately for stuff like this. I'm not sure because I'm not a native english speaker, but I think "disphoria" is the word to describe it.

Anyone here on the same boat?

Well you're not the only one...
is it possible to make your hair a bit wet and comb it closer to your head so it looks less long ?
Or is it possible to make a ponytail ?

Glad to know that there are people here around my age.
I'm currently a FtM due to some decisions my parents made when I was around 10 (Was born intersex). But currently I'm planning to transition back, so MtF should be the correct term now...probably.

Sounds complicated o.O

Well i hope everything works out with that situation. I think that people who are born intersex should make the decision when they turn 16 and not there parents.

Right Here, 17 years old. I think there are a lot more transgender youth than we think, they just choose to suppress it due to conservative parents.

I'm almost 16 \o/ (snapchat is realbromantis if anyone wants to add me :)

I'm 15 years old. :)

Oooh yes! I'm 19 years old mtf, and I can very well agree that I've had to do some mad suppression over the past years. " I could look death in the face and give him a middle finger, but could not discuss me wanting to live as a female with my parents... it's felt both scary and stressful

and In the end, my parents had been pretty open-minded about the situation.

Oh wow, I can relate with so many of you all! My mom is incredibly conservative and its because of her I have been forced to stay closeted around my family, friends, peers etc. in fear of upsetting her. I'm hoping to move into an apartment with my sister (who is the only family members who remotely knows) and start my gradual transition from there and hopefully go full time once I finish off freshman year of college and transfer somewhere that isn't so conservative. (I'm 18 atm)

Yesss! I had planned on isolating myself from my family at first, because I thought they would immediately disapprove,but I finally had built up enough courage to take a deep breath and go into the battlefield. the outcome was better than I imagined

Hi!! I'm Phoenix, I'm 15 and ftm from Scotland. I hope I can get to know some of you better. I'm not sure what the rules are about sharing my own kik, but if you want it you can pm me. I'm kinda shy but I really really need some new friends:)

I like to be busy with ice skating. Also was on ballet but stopped that last year. Just started hormone therapy ( spiro and patches ) today. Let's see what it brings
xD

Hi, I'm Kaden. I'm 14 years old. And I'm MtoF

I'm 17. I want to start HRT as well, but money's a problem.

15 here.

Hi, I'm André. I'm 15. I'm mtf but I got recently introduce to the concept of intersex and I maybe think that better describe me.

Hi! I'm 20, and FtM even though I can't begin my transition yet... Not out to my parents but I'm out to my closest friends :) and I'm living in France ^^

I'm 21, does that count as young?? I've been living full time since I was 16 so anything you guys wanna ask about that I'm happy to answer. I will say this though; learn from my mistakes! I made a real hash of life at that time and I now have little contact with my family, not really because I'm trans but because of the way I went about it all at that time. I'd love to get to know some of you and if it helps, I'm also a teacher assistant in a special needs school and I'm in my last year of teacher training so I have plenty of experience dealing with young peoples issues :) xx

hi sasha i would love to chat with you on skype me and a few of my other freinds could probably learn alot from you my skype is preston.sannicolas 1

Hihi, I'm a massive technophobe (I have an iPhone, it's a white one:)) but I can work out this Skype thing I think! I'll do it in the morning and let you know how I get on!!

Sasha your profile picture is so beautiful! Pretty family.

Anyway, Yea I'm 15 mtf transgender. Trying to come out still. :(

Being in the UK you might have a look at the mermaids, its a group specifically for transgender youth:

They even offer assistance... and there are other young transgender people there...

Public health systems are like the bus systems. slow, underfunded,  lots of people use them, and you never know when your next bus/appointment might be. Atleast we're in it!

I am 16 and on blockers since June :).
It is very long in France too, I hope to be able to take my hormones on April..
I am very glad it is our Sécurité Sociale (Health service) which pay all of it, I am really surprised it is completly different in the USA, it is kind of sad :/

Well they have a system where everything is paid for but its necessary to have docs given permission .
it might take some time.

In the us there is informed consent for adults...
and there might be programs or sliding scales for people with lower income.
It might be a good idea to ask with plannedparenthood, lgbt centers or endos/clinics.

I'm 17, will be 18 in May. I will start testosterone shortly thereafter, if I can afford it. I already have an appointment with an endocrinologist in June.

Well you have to be at the Tavistock because you're under 18 and they are the only GIC for under 18s, and then you have 4+ish appointments before you get referred to an endocrinologist then the endorsed has to look at your stuff and in a few appointments you'll be on blockers.

I'm 17 years old !!

Yeah sly you said in your previous post, but I wasn't actually talking to you I was replying to ryan :)

I've been out to my family since 2013.

I'm 16 but I just finally accepted it. I really wish that I had just said how I felt when I was young. But my stupid grandmother and right wing Christian family filled my head with so much of their stupid lies about transgender people and the like that I hid it out of fear. I just wish that I could go back in time and change it. I feel like I'm going to cry...

Don't be sad. There is now a lot more information and help to come by. And sentiment is also better imo.
Just enjoy and make use of what is now. Look forwards and just try to make the best of it.

*hugs*

I know, and I try to stay positive but it's just really hard.

Especially in my position. Other than a few slightly feminine traits to my skeletal structure, like when my palms are facing forward, the elbows have a very pronounced outward angle to them and relative to my shoulders, significantly wider hips than most people, I'm really masculine. And the only way to fix this as far as I know would be to either modify/replace bones or have started hormones very early on. But, I haven't seen a therapist yet since I'm not even close to coming out yet. I'm just hoping I can get a car and a job soon so I can at least get an initial appointment done.

You might contact plannedparenthood or a lgbt center. They have phone and email.
You might ask for counseling there.

A lot can change later still. There is much growth change still until 25, and later.
Fat redistribution and more feminine features are always possible.
Of couse its better when young, but its always possible.

One option might be blockers.
You simply might ask for counseling.

That's a good idea but once again I don't have a car to go to a place where I can do that and my family is home all the time so I can't just skype a place and talk about this. I have to come on here in the middle of the night so I don't reveal my transism before I'm ready.

I never lumped right wing Christians, or I didn't intend to. I just mentioned that my family are right wing Christians and that they think that being gay or trans is a very bad thing. I'm pretty sure that I would lose a good half of my family if I came out in the wrong way or a third if I'm lucky.

Well some people go to the toilet and skype from there... or the bathroom... or your room, and close the door..

You might tell the people you contact all that. They might accomodate and use telephone, skype and email for contact.


There are also special transgender hotlines:

Trans Lifeline volunteers are ready to respond to whatever support needs members of our community might have.

Hey! I'm 12, but a lot "older" for my age. I'd say mentally I'm about 15?? But! It's so great to see all these young trans people!

17 here. Waiting to turn 18 and move out from where I'm living now, I don't like it here. >.<

I'm ftm 18

Just a quick update : ) if you can't find a therapist in your local area, Go online therapy with Andrew Matzner
That guy is awesome  ;D ;D ;D  He "will" help you.

His prices are totally worth it.

Hey, I'm Miles, I'm 16, from Maryland, FTM. I've been out for about 3 years and I started testosterone a couple months ago. I'm looking to make some friends! Hope to get to know many of you!! :) :)

Everyone seems to be dropping Kiks, so here's mine: thisismykikbrodie

Feel free to message me there or through PM here!!

Hi! I'm Chris from Kentucky (15 and ftm). My kik is kongstudios if anyone wants it :-)

Why not make a poll? Can do by "age range" - lets say less than (< 18) then every 10 years next?

I know there's been a constant stream of "New People" signing up, coming in and then again also leaving for sure. Since joining these forums myself a total of 44,040 members have registered @ Susans. (can do own math based on embedded "u"ser=numbers)

I suspect this board is getting younger everyday, certainly less than the few surviving founding members still quietly visiting here.

LOL Was '16' once upon a time. Didn't 'ave internet back then don't post much these days due "PC Police" . . . have seen same thread concerns answered 'bout 100 different ways. Unlike the LGB agendas I think we're all quite UNIQUE!!

(ps: my actual "post count" is probably 'bout 3x's what you see here. When some people decide to leave they also take with them/delete their posts as well!)

:icon_bunch:

I'm 16, 17 in 6 months and a few days. Most of my friends who are trans are a bit older than me though, I only have two that are 16 and 17 respectively. But then again, I don't have many friends.

Good ole fifteen here, 16 in five months and I'm mentally 22 lol

Hello! I'm now 17(basically 16) MTF, I have NO freinds and I'm super shy. My family is disgusted by the fact that people still confuse me with a girl even when I wear boy clothes. ??? >:(

Hello everyone!

I'm excited, my 18th birthday is approaching rapidly. Finally freedom will come

I am a young Transman. Still in Secondary School, and I will be coming out this year at school.

I'm FTM and 17, 18 as of this coming April which means that hopefully things will start looking up.  :D

Statistically speaking I'm sure there are plenty of young trans folk.

I'm a 16 year old trans guy, been out for about a year and been on t 4 months!

Hey, I'm Miles, I'm 16, from Maryland, FTM. I've been out for about 3 years and I started testosterone a couple months ago. I'm looking to make some friends! Hope to get to know many of you!! :) :)

Everyone seems to be dropping Kiks, so here's mine: thisismykikbrodie

Feel free to message me there or through PM here!!

Another ftm Miles from Maryland?! Woah, hi! :D

15 !!  ;D

16 transgirl :)

I'm a 22 year old MTF.  Not out, nor started anything yet. just looking for some people to talk to and possibly be friends with.

Yo! I'm Fenix, 18-y-o. Im either agender or ftm, haven't started on anything yet but hopefully I'll get to see a psychiatric soon about it.

Hey, I'm Adrian. 16 FtM. Glad to see so many other people on here who are young. It seems sometimes that everyone on here is old(er) and has other issues than what we face, what with the financial dependence and lack of ability to sign our own informed consent contracts.

Probably going to come out before senior year so I can make some progress transition wise before university, but who knows? (Lowkey super jealous of all the people my age on hormones and getting legal name changes while I sit here in my closet).

Hey everyone!
21 year old transsexual here. I'm just hoping to make some new trans friends! I haven't yet come out yet but am currently trying to experiment with different makeup routines to become more feminine, but unfortunately I still look like a guy. I am really looking forward to chatting with you lovely ladies and gentlemen!

Nineteen here. You are so lucky to have had access to hormones and surgery so young. I always fear I'm too old to ever pass as a man. May I PM you?

Thanks, haha. I was really lucky to have found an amazing therapist who really turned my life around. I worried that too about myself - I know a few guys that transitioned in their 30s+ and pass so well you wouldn't even be able to tell they're trans, lol. And of course!

16 year old FtM here! From a teeny-tiny town in the United States!

Hi everyone!
I'm 24 MtF, pre-everything, and am an aspiring animator. Hoping to start hrt this summer before grad school. I'm looking to make some trans friends since I don't have any IRL. If any of y'all are into gaming pm me and maybe we can find a game to play together! :) Nice to meet everyone!

My name is Skylar and I'm 18 y/o. I've been out about a year. I actually just filed the papers for my name change today and should be starting T in July. I'm from a small town in Oregon, but I'll be going to NYC to study animation this fall. I'm really bad at communicating long distance but I'd love to talk music, art, college, or transition stuff on here.

My name is Ian. I would be MTF

Hey I'm 17. Use the IRC on here, and just joined the actual cite officially. It is hard for me to work through how I feel about transitioning myself, but I still support anyone does go through with it. They have to be some of the braver people there are. They have to completely learn to live as the opposite of what society told them they were. So I will support most advancement of gender equality, and the ability to become anyones true self.

Here are some resources that could help understand:

It may be a bit easier when people understand its really how they feel.
They alread feel as the gender they identify with. If they let it shine through, it can help, with mannerism and gait, and it will look natural. Not exaggerating it but simply expressing it in a natural way.

Imo its nice and less disruptive to the thread.

o: I'm 14, almost 15. FTM, I'm only out to about three people offline though xD I think I'm going to be speaking to someone at the end of this month to see if I have Aspergers or something, my gender identity will probably get brought up at some point too. I've heard gender dysphoric people have a higher chance of being autistic (or was it the other way around?); I wouldn't be surprised if I am actually autistic to be honest

Hi guys :) I haven't been on this thread in a long time. Great news, I got my prescription for testosterone today, and I am going for my first injection tomorrow :) I hardly believe that it's finally happening, this on top of other things. I'm so happy, for a variety of reasons. Oh, and i'm newly an adult (in the eyes of the US, anyways!)

First off - your art is fantastic. I draw too!!
Second - I am autistic myself (: so is my boyfriend, who also is trans :)
Third - you sound really rad dude !!!

Not technically in the under 20 range.... I'm 22 (still kind of young-ish?). My teenage sibling thinks my age sounds ancient though ::)
----------
Side note: Am I the only one that thinks a poll of ages (or the year you were born) would be interesting? As in if everyone on the site answered...I think it would be cool to see what the majority age is on this site. I'm one to analyze things at times. Might make one up soon, should make sure it doesn't exist first though. :P

Can't believe I haven't posted here yet.....anyway, I'm 17.
