Cheddar Cheese Hello!   
My name is Alanna for now, and I have come out to my family as a transgender Female about 7 months ago. Since then I have been beaten up by my brother, Mentally abused by my Mother, Coddled by my Step dad, came out to two of my close male-friends, and Sorta told one of my close female-friends. Both of my male friends are attracted to and fantasize about Transgender Females(tmi)! Well I have recently started with a new therapist Her name is Cindy, she has short salt n pepper hair, She wheres glasses, she is very in touch with her consciousness, and very smart, me and her started hitting it off right away, We both have Virgo moons! YAY!    It WAS kind of intense the first session and I expected that. I always try to ask them about there problems and Council them so that we are REALLY mutually working toward a common goal. MY GOAL: becoming very comfortable in my own skin, and Becoming as mentally fit as possible before, during, and after my transition. I expect to start seeing a Medication specialist asap I just need to call the number and set it up. I have taken anti-depressants basically my entire life and some sort of sleeping meds since 7. I cant wait for my next visit and I promise to keep Susans up to date with my progress. MUAH!

Great news about the therapist, Alanna.

But please keep yourself safe. If a family member beats you up, that is called domestic violence. It is a crime. Think about reporting it. Will make it easier if a restraining order or other legal protection is necessary.

Talk about complicated . It's very hard to judge that cituation because I didn't really come out to him at that time, but my mother had informed him of my current thoughts. Being about going through some mental stuff is sorta how she put it. He also had seen pictures of me in  clothing of the real gender and that was seen by accident on my computer we share. However some problems cant be solved.  I'm very polite, curtious, clean, nice, always have been. It hurts me for them to treat me like I'm improper or undecided. It makes it very hard to just put on my skirt, makeup, cute shirt. And not feel stupid directly because of them.  Medication, time, estrogen, and friendship is gonna totaly help.
