Title: who should i turn to???
Post by: TGnatasha on June 21, 2012, 02:33:37 PM
Hi everyone,

my life is very confusing right now because im a young teen and i want to be a girl.
no one knows how i really feal and everyone thinks im just an ordinary guy.
ive felt like this since i was born and was always more intouch with my femine side.
i wish i had someone to talk to about how i feel but its a little difficult.
first of all my dad is extremaly homophobic, my mom is accepting but not sure how she would take it and all boys at my school are men who are homophobic morons.

my town is really small, like theres only 10,000 people here so theres only two phychologysts/therapysts in town and the nearest gender thearapest is over 500 kilometers away in my state capital.

the rest of my family are grandperants who were brought up thinking that being trans or gay is a disese that seperates you from the world so they're useless when it comes to this so if anyone kows of any online gender counsilers possibly australian please post

is there a sexual health clinic where you are because thats the best place to start in Australia. and it's free  they have therapists and doctors especially for tansgender, although you may have to wait a little cause  there aren't that many they usually travel the whole state. for example the therapist only comes to my town once every 3 months

I would suggest the school counselor, provided it isn't a religious school.

my school is a cathlic scool and there isnt a counsiler there, plus it is kinda awkward to talk about this stuff, cause if they tell my family im done for.
