  • It sounds like you need to talk to a psychologist/therapist who specialises in gender dysphoria. They would potentially be able to help you arrange your thoughts on the matter. No-one is going to be able to give you a definite answer on the internet and nor should they. I can tell you that I am going through the hatching process at the moment and am experiencing something similar. I’m a long way past puberty (old enough to be your parent) and the thing that bothers me is that I didn’t adress this sooner. If I had investigated my gender identity at your age I might have enjoyed my adult life and not spent every day depressed and angry at everything.

    It’s possible that you aren’t transgender or that you are. But even if you aren’t it’s still useful to know that. If you know any trans girls IRL you should talk to them about it and see if your experiences align with theirs. Also, I don’t know about your family situation or political environment where you live, but if you could see a therapist, it wouldn’t hurt. Just make sure you address it soon because you don’t want to spend the next few decades of your life miserable. Again I’m not saying you are or aren’t trans. Only you can figure that out.

    Came out to my SO after watching Priscilla queen of the desert. She had no reaction beyond “please keep your penis, I like it.” Other than that, she likes the idea of me with hips and boobs and is very supportive. Am going to talk to my doctor about it today.

    Edit: been to the doctor and am getting a referral to a psychologist for diagnosis.



  • That really sucks, I’m sorry 😔.

    I’m also from a rural place where everyone knows each others business all the time and it’s exhausting dealing with it. I haven’t actually started transitioning in any meaningful way, but I’m 100% not going to present as female there. At least until my very transphobic parents kick the bucket. After that I’m just not going to go back.

    Just try to stay positive and keep going. Civilization isn’t that far away. You can do it!











  • Thanks for the advice, I’ll definitely look into it. My mental health is somewhat sub par at the moment so I’m not sure how soon I’ll be comfortable with being myself in a public setting. So I think the plan as it stands is boymod until I start getting correctly gendered. It’s not like I live in a super conservative city or anything, but I have a fair bit of baggage from my early years that needs to be dealt with. I don’t have a burning need for society to accept who I am, I just want to feel like I belong in my own skin and accept myself. Or rather that’s the most important thing for me.
