I felt this way as a teen, but after I hit 20, I didn't care anymore. I just lived as I felt. Stayed true to how I felt inside. It had my anxiety through the roof to even think about telling people before, but slowly it just came out and was easier then I thought. Now, I'm 25 and hoping that I can start Testosterone, if the state covers it.
I'd feel so much better.
This is what I asked myself when I thought about just giving up on moving forward...."Could I see being a physical female for the rest of my life? Could I stand being called by my female name?" The answer was no, I hate that I still have a female name, a deep but still female-ish voice, and of course....lady parts.
If I had the opportunity and means of transitioning, I would in a heartbeat. You only have one chance at life, and I want to do what is right for me, not care about anyone else's opinion because there will ALWAYS be opinions in everything you do.
