Hey I found your site through another website about a guy telling his story. I started reading through the site, and I knew I had to sign up. Hopefully I can get lots of help here.

I haven't come out to my family, and I am serious, when I say, that when I went to activate my account, I got an email from my dad too and just broke into tears (didn't even have to think about) because its hurts so much to have to live like this, and not knowing whether or not my dad will accept me, makes it worse. It just makes me really sad, because I don't know what he will think of me, and, its just something really emotional for me to think about.

I mean, I think my mom suspects something, because shes starting to accept me, although about 2 weeks ago, she asked me why I'm not feminine. So it doesn't bother me as much as it does with my dad. So I guess you can say, I came here for emotional support as well. I'm on my last year of high school, and I want to prepare for that big moment, when I do it. I don't know if I'm going to do it when I move to Cali for college, or before. Its just a scary subject.

But anyway, Hi, and I'm glad to be here.

Hi Aaden,
I'm reading your post that you are FtM? Sorry don't mean to be rude in anyway . You are in a good place if so, there are many Bro's here that are at various stages in life.

As far as family is concerned, slowly often helps. Parents need to get used to the idea that their "darling" is really a dude. Or their macho guy, is really a girl. It's a shock. It is too you ( and us) as well to face the idea that I'm so different, WHY. Why can't I be me. No answers on that.

Anyhow welcome, check out the different forums and post. BTW you are now trapped. You have a new (very) older sister and a whole family that cares. Awesome that.

Love and Kisses

Cindy

Yeah I'm an FtM
Thanks for the welcome. You made me smile and feel very welcomed
That means a lot too me

Hi Aaden  ! Welcome to the forums. It may be hard right now, but at least you are honest with yourself. That is a very big step that many have a hard time dealing with. Parents are always tricky coming out to; just remember that there is no time table to tell them. Do some research, ask for advice, take it slowly, and when you feel it's the right time, then tell them. It is always better to be prepared for questions and to sort everything out in your head before talking to them. Oh, and Cindy is right hun, you now have a bunch of brothers and sisters who care, and we want details! 

Hi Aaden,

Welcome to our little family. Over 2700 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.
