The only people who know about Steven are a few people on here.
I want to tell my parents first... and I would kinda like to tell them now, but I'm not sure they'd take me seriously. They'd probably think I was making it up or it's just a phase or something. I'm only 15 by the way, but I know this. I know I can never live happily as a woman.
I think my dad would be really confused, and then he'd worry that it's because I spent too much time watching motor racing with him or something. And I don't want him to worry about it, because he could really do without the stress.
As for my mum, who I don't have as good a relationship with as my dad, I wouldn't say she
knows, but I don't think she'll be as suprised. I think she'll be disapointed. Disapointed that her only child isn't what she hoped I was, and wants me to be. I swear she expects me to magically turn into a girly-girl any day now, and it just won't happen.
But I am a really bad liar. Now that I understand the reasons behind what I feel, now I can put a word to it other than "weird", I don't know how long I can go without telling anyone. I keep getting paranoid that the words will just randomly come out of my mouth in a conversation. I need to tell them... but still, I don't want to mess things up and make things complicated for my parents. We don't have the happiest family life ever or anything, but it's okay, and I don't want to spoil that.
And of course, there is also the matter of my friends. I have two close friends, Daniel and Amy (tomboy), and a close-ish friend called Dan. Honestly, I'm not a very trusting person. I suspect that if I tell them that it'll end up all around the school. And then I will probably be ridiculed for my final compulsory year. But at the same time there's my classic problem of not liking lying to people...
Basically, I want to tell people, but am terrified of the consequences... I really don't know what to do now.
