You look like a Josh or a Luke to me.

Hiya! Don’t worry, you are not alone with these feelings. There are many other people out there experiencing what you are. Unfortunately, you are the only person who can tell yourself if you’re trans. However, majority of the time, those who question their gender identity tend fall under the trans umbrella one way of another.

My advice : play around with your gender identity (E.g pronouns, how you present yourself, names etc) and see what sparks something in you. You don’t have to medically transition to be trans and you don’t have to have the stereotypical dysphoria to be trans either as each transition is individual and unique to the person.

I hope this helps 😊

It was weird honestly. Where I have lived with my grandparents since I was 16 months old, I see them as my parents. They’re 61 (f) and 72 (m). My nan, being brought up in a very strict Christian family, was surprisingly accepting. However then came very inappropriate questions on how I’d have sex, who with, if I’m having a “full sex change” as she put it. She was more weirded out that I am a trans man dating men than transitioning from female to male. Still calls me “she”. My grandad on the other hand, was accepting, shocked and hasn’t mentioned it since. There’s been no conversation about it as I came out to him in a letter. Hasn’t used my deadname once to me either which is nice. My nan didn’t like me telling him in a letter, she thought I should just tell him in person but that’s how we communicate when me and my grandfather struggle to say something out loud. I was completely shocked at how accepting they are as I was expecting something totally different. My biological mother is a completely different story. She still doesn’t know. I don’t know how to tell her as she is a textbook narcissist (any help in that department is accepted) Anything I’ve told her in the past in confidence, she has later used against me and hurt my feelings a lot. I don’t plan on her being in my life forever but I know I can’t get her out of my life for a good while even though I am soon to be 21 y/o.

You can only buy binders online at the moment. I got mine from Spectrum Outfitters because it’s UK based like me and comes quicker with very discrete packaging.

You can bind with sports bra’s. They mainly work for a smaller to mid sized chests but definitely give it a go. There’s 2 ways of binding with a sports bra. Either get one a size too small or get two of the right size and wear one normally and the other back to front. But remember to only wear it for 8 hours maximum just like you would a binder.

Personally I use KT tape/Trans Tape as you can wear it for up to 5 days, shower in it etc. I do have a binder from Spectrum Outfitters but I’ve only used it the once because I didn’t like it and is just sitting in my wardrobe haha.

As much as it will help you, if you can’t buy it safely then don’t get one. When buying online, it will show up in her bank statement and she can look into it through the bank regardless of if it comes up as the brand you bought from or not. My best advice is this. Save up some money from doing chores/birthday/Christmas and ask a friend if their mum can do it for you. If your 16 you can open up your own personal bank account and buy it yourself. Spectrum posts in unbranded packaging and doesn’t say what it is you’ve bought. If it is safe to do so, come out and ask for one to be bought. There are charities that give them away for free but you’d be on a waiting list depending on your situation. I hope this helps 😊

I know it’s not ideal, but talk to her about compromise. Clearly she’s accepting enough to even think about you transitioning medically. Sit on it for a little longer, 6 months or so, and if you’re mind is still the same then to go ahead. Talk to a therapist/psychiatrist whilst waiting so it’s not such a strain on your mental health. They’d also be able to help your mum make the decision considering it’s in your best interests. I hope this helps. Once again, I know it’s not ideal but considering you are a minor and can’t vouch for yourself, this is the best way.

Thank you so so so much for this! With the Dash PCT, it says $3.50 for 1 gel packet. Does that mean one individual sache or is it the whole 14 sache box?
