My parents have kind of turned on me. I came out to them and explained everything but my stepmom is sorta just ignoring me. She thinks I need some kind of medication to make me stop feeling this way. She thinks it's just a phase but I've felt this way since I was little. Ever since I could dress myself I have worn "guy clothes." I don't do anything girly and I hate my body. I so badly just want to be a guy. I haven't had a chance to talk to my real mom but I go there in a few days. I have no clue how she will react. I'm pretty freaked out.

hang in there dude, you just rocked their world. their first instinct is going to be to try to correct it with therapy or medication. have you printed out or linked them to any information on the net? it might be a matter of educating them so they know what you are going through and that you aren't the only one.

it's a little different for FtMs since some girls are tomboys and like to wear boy clothes, that's probably why they think it's just a phase. let them cool down a little bit and then maybe revisit the subject armed with some resources to back up your feelings and stuff. just remember that you've had your entire life to come to terms, and they may have only had a couple days.

good luck!

Do a google search under Harry Benjimans Syndrom, you will see a wiki article and other sites that talk about HBS, it might help them to know that it is a birth defect and can not be cured by just taking a pill.  HBS is a birth defect and you are a normal person its just you have the brain of a male and the body of a female, I know it sucks big time but your young and can take steps in the right direction, I am old and it is too late for me.  Aloha

Talked to dad and stepmom again. Had a big long discussion about everything. They don't care that I am this way and are supporting me. They are trying to find me a good gender therapist. I still haven't talked to my mom...I'm not sure what she will do or say...
