Ok cos im still a kid and told my parents i feel transgendered January this year im in a slightly better mood than last year when i was mega depressed. But my mum and dad say they are a bit shocked because there were never any signs 

But there friggin was!

when i was young I was very shy and was not confident enough to talk about being uncomfortable in my clothes.
7 is probably the start of being really tomboyish for me but my mum still had wars with me about my clothes. But in the summer i remember feeling so happy running about baretop and my mum and dad commenting on ho i should be a boy. 
Age 8 i got my spiderman costume and enjoyed flexing my fake musles in it and climbing trees. I was gutted when i grew out of that and my dragon costume XD

I remember me wanting to wear some boys jeans when i was 8/9 aand my mum saying "No Hannah you look like a dyke!" all i can remember is me fighting back the tears and feeling so down that day. Yes i knew what a dyke was because im an intelligent kid

Christmas was crap for me cos of the girly gifts i hated them all.
Also i remember telling one of my friends jodie when we were younger that i acted so boyish because im a boy but i had a medical problem where i was born a girl. Kinda right for a young kid lol
When i was younger it was ok to be very boyish cos i was friends with everyone and openly told people id get a sex change when i was older

when my tits grew i slouched for a year and a half until i decided i couldnt do that any more and had to wear a bra. I cried in my room for what seemed like an hour.

my mum and dad are awesome but i hate hem calling me  she and hannah and saying im beautiful.
But my mum did call me handsome the other day 

People as a whole are like that.  Something obvious, in the face, is never seen.  I know my parents were like that and many people I know.  It was like the world ended when I told my mom and she kept telling me and my sister it was a phase.  Even when I tried to talk to her it was pointless because it was as she saw things not as it was.

I understand exactly how you feel.   Wish I was called handsome just once... I am always cute.  When I asked my g/f about this she explained my face was too chubby to be handsome.  I had the little kid face.  Made me whole day......

I get called cute if anything.  When I do pass.. it's because the person thinks I'm 12.

As for families.. I think it might be safe to say that it can only get better once they know.  I don't think people "change their mind" about accepting it or get less accepting..  so their response to you can only get better .  Hope that lifts your spirit.

If you haven't already, I'd tell your parents what you just told us. Parents like to pretend nothing is "wrong" or block out those memories. People have problems believing their kids are trans at first, but hopefully they come around.

I jumped for a minute, because my parents called me Hannah too XP Parents seem to generally not notice these things - tomboyish behaviour as a kid is written off in their memory as just that - ordinary tomboyish behaviour.

thx for your replies guys
