I'm a FtM transgender. But i come from a VERY religious muslim family so i'm so deep in my closet i found narnia. I don't have anything to say and i'm just here because i can't keep all to myself anymore. Just to say if you could give me advices on how to come out or how to keep pretending i'm a chick i'm ok with it. And i'm young (i know it should have been the first thing to say with my name but i'm a bit messy should have seen my room... no more details) and you can call me Jesse. :D

Hi Jesse, :icon_wave:
Welcome to our little family. Over 7905 strong. That would be one heck of a family reunion.
Feel free to post your successes/failures, Hopes/dreams. Ask questions and seek answers. Give and receive advice.
But remember we are family here, your family now. And it is always nice to have another brother. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-3.gif&hash=f49e2f86761323f2abd9c33941920389dbb3b10f)

Welcome, jesse, from southern California.
We have several other Muslim members here.
Glad you found us.
Hi Jessie ,
A big Aussie welcome to Susan's family. It's good of you to drop in and say "Hi". Hope you like it here, and you stay for a while.
There is a mountain of information, resources and friendship waiting for you here, you just need to jump in and start talking.
To answer your question on what to do next; finding a therapist who is experienced in gender issues would certainly be the best start. It's impossible to keep pretending this is not happening. That's called denial, and the longer you let it survive, the longer it's going to take to heal, and the more damage it is going to create for you.
It may be best to start with your school or college nurse/counselor. They should be able to advise you on the best way, for your circumstances, in which to go. Do realise GID (gender Identity Disorder) is a recognised medical condition. At some point in time your parents will need to know this and that it is treatable. Your therapist will best advise you on how this should be done.
Looking forward to hearing more of your story in time to come, but in the meantime, be safe, well and happy.
Lotsa huggs
Catherine
Hello and welcome from another of the Aussie crew.
There are, as Jamie posted, a few other Muslim members so you will have a few brothers and sisters to discuss some of the more intricate questions with. At least with a traditional family you can dodge the question of boyfriends a bit and won't shock your parents with revealing clothing.
Anyway post away when you can and I am sure you will feel at home in no time.
Karen.
