Unfortunately at age 16, your options are limited. In the United States for example, you need to be 18 before your considered an adult though there are a few exceptions. The best advice I can give you is that you save what money you can and start planing to leave the country. Possibly you can contact the embassy of another country and find out what the requirements are for you to be accepted by another country. Just make sure the country your looking at will accept transgender people.

dena thanks for replying getting out is not that easy and im really just a peice pf mess i dont even know my personality im so broke

I need to get to bed as it's after midnight here, but there are a couple of things that might help you. First, what your feeling is the result of your brain developing in a feminine direction before you were born. You don't have a mental problem however life is putting a great deal of pressure on you and that is difficult to deal with. For now, you should learn all you can about yourself. Two links you might want to look at is our WIKI and "the transition channel" . In addition, I did a little googling and while things are pretty much as you described, the link contains the following so there is hope and it's possible if you need advice, the US embassy might be able to point you in the right direction.

QuoteIn June 2009, the U.S. State Department raised concerns regarding equality and human rights in a statement from spokesperson Ian Kelly:

In general, we absolutely condemn acts of violence and human rights violations committed against individuals in Iraq because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. This is an issue that we've been following very closely since we have been made aware of these allegations, and we are aware of the allegations. Our training for Iraqi security forces includes instruction on the proper observance of human rights. Human rights training is also a very important part of our and other international donors' civilian capacity-building efforts in Iraq. And the US embassy in Baghdad has raised, and will continue to raise, the issue with senior officials from the government of Iraq, and has urged them to respond appropriately to all credible reports of violence against gay and lesbian Iraqis.[17]

thank you so much
