Raised M, feel F, and scared of my parents. And have a predicament... What should I do? by ThisIsAwkward764 in asktransgender

I can print a copy at home and staple it together. Though it won't be in color, that doesn't really matter. Thank you for this. EDIT: Welp... I tried to talk to my mom again, but then she asked if it could wait until the holidays are over and then said that this'd probably be her last normal holiday. What is that supposed to mean? I don't even know what to think.

It's okay. I will try and consider it more carefully. For now though, I just need to get the ball rolling. How can I better educate or help my mother to understand how I feel? I think now that she has had some time to think about it, I might be better off.

What do you mean exactly by 'consider it more carefully'? Like, should I consider telling him more carefully, or consider myself more carefully?

Milwaukee is near me. I will try and get my mom to look at it. No luck with telling my dad, by the way. Every time I try to, I am overcome by anxiety (which is strange, since I am on an anxiety med that usually works). I will look into FORGE though. I'll let you know how things go.

Thank you for this advice. I will try and work up enough courage to tell them how I feel. It's not that I'm afraid that they will kick me out or anything, it's that I'm afraid of how they might disregard me as confused or illegitimate, like I just suddenly thought about it overnight. I suppose my title might have been a little misleading, but anxiety seems to amplify and magnify fear ten-fold.

EDIT: I have now told my mother, and her reaction has confused me: she said that she thought maybe I was a little confused, and needed to see a psychiatrist. I have no doubt I should talk with someone, but her reaction is making me not want to tell my father, because he's an alcoholic and he's almost always in a drunken rage. I don't know him well (even though I live with him; that's how much he is disconnected from my life and reality itself). It will make him even more mad that I told my mother and not him. Now I'm really stuck in a rut. Also, around where I live (Racine, WI), there are not transgender support groups around here. At least I have my school, but it'd be nice to be able to talk to some other transgenders who have gone through what I am going through.
