Hello everyone, as the title says I'm from Puerto Rico.
I would like to start saying that I've been looking all over the web for support groups, especially from Puerto Rico, I have contacted my local LGBT chapter with questions like; where to start? is there a place I could go?, sadly I have haven't received replies or I was told to contact other groups which have also given me no idea where to go or what to do since I haven't got their replies as of today, but enough of that little rant.
Now onto myself, I am currently 21 year's old male I'm a full time Marketing student, I currently live with my parents, I will turn 22 pretty soon now in August 25th, since I was little I remember myself being identified with the female gender and wanting to be just like them, I even remember telling my mother I wanted to be just like her when I grew up, however my parents never payed attention to this and I continued on as male, once I reached high school however I went into a depressive state since I saw that my body wasn't changing like I wanted this has carried on with me and I've always kept it a secret, I've dressed up and even used make up in secret and it always makes me feel complete, happy and makes me feel like this is where I belong, I carried this secret with me until August 12th of this week when I told my brother, it wasn't easy for him but I now know I have his support, and now only my parent's need to know, I've been struggling greatly on how to tell my mother and my dad what I feel, the fact that I don't like my body or who I am right now and that I want to transition into a female, to my real body, this has left me anxious and feeling depressed as I feel I have failed how to tell them and I feel there is no where to go.
I guess this is all for now, I would love to know if there is other people from P.R that have transitioned too and how they did it, I hope I make a lot of friends here too since I currently don't have a lot due to how I feel.
