ok so as a first i must say i heard remindings of this place sometimes in other places so i had decided to come and see what its all about and found another place to hang with other folks like me
so as a small accouncement before i forgot it happend
i shaved for like my 5 time 5 mins ago
i have been out to my parents for about half an year and to my brother about 2 months[he found out in not the very fun circumstances]
back when i realised i was just a girl looking like a boy it was so so so depressing i had been suffering from self inacceptance for about a month
every 2 weeks in this month i had gotten into depression and wouldnt eat neither sleep for about a day
then i decided to just put everything i ever known about myself[wich was a realy realy nothing nothing except hobbys as i never found myself in the world] and decided to start knowing myself thrugh transition. making my choice to transition was realy risky as im not so healthy person skinny and low weight and coming from a religious family. but i knew i had to do it because i couldnt lie to myself that so much of my wierdest things in my life finnaly gets a reason to happen
i have been invisibly cross dressing with my mother's undy's for about 3 years each once in a while when the only people in the house at the moment was asleep so i had to sneak and take them
lately my mom started to notice them kinda messed up in the closet after she been making an order in them so i had to stop doing that
back before i realised what i am and why i am i thouth im just a pervert that likes to wear clothes of the other gender and imagine myself that way
coming out to my mother was realy hard as i knew she would be supportive but i had to do it because im only 19 and i got a lot of time untill i could go and live by myself and i wanted to transition at home
she didnt take it so well but i expected her to at least leave me alone and let me do what i must do and not bother me
about a month later i came out to my dad in a letter i wrote in my computer
and i must say i never had girl friends in the past because i dont know i guess i just didnt know how im supposed to treat them as i was expected to treat them sexualy like other boys and when it comes to that im lost
but when i came out to my dad i had my first girl friend wich i still is her very very good friend and she is my best friend ever. she knew about me from day one and was the most supportive friend i could ask for
so when i came out to my dad in a computer letter i told him to read it while i go down to the street
i called her and she was so happy i did it
when i came back up my dad was rather amazed and told me he is proud of my courage to do it[wich later on i guess he aint so much]
a while later my mom started to alert many things on me likei  wanted to grow hair and do all sorts of things
and every conversation i had with her about it was ended when i was crying
one of those conversations was so tough my mom caught me on when i was going to sleep and had a hard charges conversation with me that when she left the room i felt like im dead and i cryed like i never cryed before and then i decided to leave home the day after no matter what
the next day i was going to tell my dad im leaving but he convinced me to stay and he will talk to her to stop bothering me
that worked for a while and things gotten hot again
that time i met my trans boyfriend who is ftm and we decided to take me to a lgtv safe house providing all basic nessecary things like company food water computer and hot meals
so one day we went there and when my parents realised i ren off home and then they had to tell my brother why his little brother ren out of home and he freaked out and wanted them to call me back[wich was suprising coz we never been so close and i always thouth he hates me]
that day when i came back on things gotten better and my mother started to give me a green light to grow my hair out
then i went for a gender therapist and when i came back my mom told me she would start to accept me
so for now i grow my hair out hanging out with my best friends and making things right with my family

forgot to mention im 19 old[in 3 months] i live in israel

my current goals and dreams wow there are plenty of
my current current goals i want to first achive asap
is coming to good relationship with my brother altho we are both diffrent coz he is depressed coz he aint finding his place in the world and i think i can help him a bit because i was there before too
im independantly studying game design and dreaming to be a game designer gamer girl in the future
i somewhy love dresses lol and i love shopping with my friend
for now im waiting for me to look more like a girl so my mom would be satisfied to let me buy girl stuff for not making any embarrassment for myself in society
my bf and i broke up like 2 months ago coz he turned out gay and im maybe lesbian so idk
so yeaa im hoping to start on hrt in about when i find a job and get the money to start it

im a very happy person naturaly and i have been more happy and satisfied with myself since i decided to transition
im also planning on becoming a transgender activist in the future and hoping to find a mate to make a family with

Thats really good! I think your mum didn't want to 'lose' her little boy but i'm glad your father and brother convinced her to accpet you for who you are 

Good luck with your ambition in the future. We need people to break the stigma of transgender people, to show 'normal' people that we're just ordinary people too.

Welcome, best of luck and I hope to hear how you progress in the future!

Hi Crystals!


Isn't the feeling wonderful once you accept the way you feel!? It sounds like happiness is already making itself known! Congrats for realizing what you want! Some of us take a much longer time reaching that point!!
