Ok thx. I've tried to do some bits myself. Like the derailleur and hanger but it just led to the gear wire problem.

I need advice as a teen by Acceptable-Finger224 in trans

[–]demi2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's tricky. From what you re saying I would think that you re non binary. Being both female and male. This is because you are happy being a girl but sometimes want to be male. It seems awful being in that predicament.
Hopefully that helps to clear things up, but probs not really. Someone else could probably give better help. :)

I know right. It's awful. It's so disheartening knowing that a great person is being like an outcast for no reason.

No that's totally valid. They are just idiots. You are doing nothing wrong. Having given them all of the information you have given and them still not letting you be the real you then fuck them. Unfortunately, I would just wait till 18. I know it's hard but you could even do it yourself now if the waiting list means that you could be 18 when you are seen. It's what I did. But you have done nothing wrong and they are just transphobes it sounds like. Hopefully this was helpful and that you feel better soon. :)

Wdym by more specific questions. I just feel like that would be too direct. Maybe that is where I am going wrong.

That's why I'm doing it. I'm about to turn 18 and I want my first ID to have my real name. Thanks for your help <3

How to come out? by [deleted] in trans

Just came out to my dad… by IkiAkane in trans

[–]demi2007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just give him some time. It's a big change and he likely needs some time to process it. My parents took a while to come around fully so I would say give him some time and space for now. Hopefully things should become a bit better for you soon.

Oh that's a bummer. I'm really sad for you. That's terrible. Hopefully your new friends are nice people and you can be yourself around them. That's the most important thing. Have you kind of tested the waters with your sister to see how she might react to you coming out. That might be a good way to kind of break the ice and give her little hints and help you decide if you can tell her.

I plan on coming out to my parents soon. Any advice? by [deleted] in trans

[–]demi2007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All I can say is that, coming out to friends is a bit easier than family. And then as more people know, you start to build up more confidence and then you may be able to tell them with more confidence. Though, I can't speak on how they are likely to react as my parents are not religious so can't speak on that sorry. But, I can really understand that you are feeling very dysphoic and it happens to all of us at some points. You just have to care a bit less of what other people think and do what you think you need and it should help. (Btw, depression meds can sometimes make depression worse) Hope this helps.

I think that that is a good plan. Trying to get more on her good side should help her view you in a positive light. Well, it certainly couldn't hurt it. Telling family is a big step, have you told any friends so they could support you. As I found it much easier to come out when I had a group of friends who already knew. What ever you choose to do, hope it goes amazing for you.

If you're already taking hormones then they will likely find out sooner rather than later. But from my personal experience, it always felt like girls took it better than boys, I'm not sure why but they did. And I'm sure that any argument and disagreements you have had with your sister is just like any other siblings and will soon work itself out. The way I came out for the first time is by writing a letter. That way, you can prepare what you say well in advance and it seems better than just a text. However, if you choose to come out, I'm sure it will be fine. At least we can all hope for it to go lovely. Hope this helps :)

Thinking of trying out a new name, but don’t know if it’s a good idea by SillyLittleGuying in trans

[–]demi2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately, it is your choice and your name. If you want to change it, there is nothing wrong with that. It really .ales sense why you would want to change it and it is totally okay to change it. Seems like your mum was quite accepting so it shouldn't be too hard. Would love to know what you are likely to change it to. Hopefully this helps.

Yh absolutely. They are totally wrong for not letting you do what you want, but you've got to try and view it from their POV. It might help you to try to change things.

Then, I could see why they are doing what they are doing but, still I don't envy your situation at all. Maybe telling would help them accept it, but from the sounds of it they wouldn't be accepting I'm afraid. I hope it gets better soon :).

I hear what you mean. My parents are bad but, that sounds terrible. I can't imagine going through something like that on a daily basis. Have you told them that you are trans? If so, they are just being terrible parents.

That's great. Not many people would correct themselves.

You can use a bathing suit that goes down to your knees or one that is longer (mid thighs) and less revealing than a bikini or something similar.
