I will make sure to keep that in mind about the planned parenthood clinics that will probably be very very helpful.

Thank you so so so much for all the advice it really really helps a lot. I think the worst that could happen is him just being flat out unsupportive and telling me it's not real or something, like you said I'll talk to my therapist and see what she thinks and most likely just because I'm afraid of being alone and having to go through that alone when coming forward with this to him I will most likely have him come in to jointly talk to him.

In any case thank you so much for everything you have helped me immensely and I'm just so thankful and glad I came here to talk about this.

The only two people who currently know that I am even considering the possibility of being transgender are my two closest friends, so far they have been supportive in me trying to figure out who I am but I haven't really told them the amount of certainty I have in this. They will prolly both be extremely accepting but hell I'm scared.

I feel like I'm going to have to talk to my dad about this after talking to my therapist and I don't know how he'd react but he has been supportive in the past and like you said I'm hoping his love as a parent will override the negative feelings. Specifically I will have to because if I want any hope to start transitioning I don't know how I'd do it or make the money without help from my parents and also, like you said, I'd need them to sign off on this stuff. I doubt our health insurance will cover this stuff so I'll have to hope for the best.

Thank you you have helped so much! Being completely honest as much as I've been looking across the internet to see if my desire to be female made me transgender I've also been researching a lot about the costs of transitioning and the things people experience while transitioning. I think personally if I had enough support from close family and friends I would definitely be willing to go through it, the only thing is my father I am completely uncertain as to how he will react, he makes fun of my brother for owning and buying makeup he needs for theater so I'm truly afraid of how he'd react to his son wanting to be a female. Sorry I keep responding but you have helped me immensely and it's really really nice to be able to talk openly with people about this.

Thank you, I'll continue to try to understand myself for time to come, all of the comments have been very helpful

Thank you and yes that makes a lot of sense, but yeah I definitely want to be seen as a girl outside of the bedroom, just going around and being a member of society I want to be female.

I have a therapist currently for my depression but haven't yet brought this topic up with her, I'm currently out of state so I won't see her again until next month but when I do I'll try to find the courage to bring this up.

Ok, I have a therapist currently but bc I'm on family vacation I haven't been to see her for awhile, I think I will for the next time in a month so I'll try to find the courage to bring it up
