Think of it this way. At least you guys have moms that are accepting enough for you to wonder if you should tell them or not. Imagine how you would feel if your parents would NEVER accept you for something like this no matter what. Work up the courage to tell them, only if you're sure they'll be accepting. And if you are, what's stopping you? I'd run to my mother and tell her right now if she was half as accepting as your moms.

If I go through with being trans, then I'd have to live my life as a girl. I came out as gay to my mom when I was 16, 3 years later and my mom still doesn't want my dad to know. She doesn't even want my brother to know. My dad pays for my college and he's shown extreme signs of homophobia before, I can't imagine how he feels towards transsexuals. Still, if I tell my mom she might say, "Lets not tell dad or your brother until after you graduate." Cool, be forced to live as a guy for another 3 years or so of my life because I might not get an education if I don't. I don't know what's worse, living as a boy without my only supportive family knowing or being forced to live as a boy with her knowing. I either want to go all in or not at all.
any of you babes wanna meat up?
Oh my, I've been missing out not having noticed this thread earlier!

I know it sucks, but there's nothing else to do. I could not go through with it until I have citizenship here and be okay with not having the support of my family, but I'd probably be 24 or 30 or something. God no, I started as soon as I worked up the courage to.

And it'd be hard to hide it since my brother and dad like to come up and visit sometimes. I just feel like I should let everyone know, have my family and friends know. Have them call me Jennifer/Jenny/Jen and ask them to see me as a girl, even if they aren't comfortable with it. I'm just really afraid of my father disowning me, even if I hate him with a fucking passion. I need his money. [sp]And no, its not some stupid immature hate. He's been having an affair and lies about it to my mom and makes her suffer every fucking day.[/sp] And well my brother... I love him to bits. I don't want him to hate me.

I meant just go to a therapist and whatnot by yourself. But I see where you're coming from. Sounds like quite a pickle. D: I wish you luck. Maybe you could tal about it with your mother when you tell her? Sounds like she'll be okay with it and might help.

I'm not seeing a lot of pics in this thread. Crossdressing isn't my thing, but I'm curious as to how Facepunch looks dressed as a girl.
[QUOTE=FPKawaii;35472038]I'm not seeing a lot of pics in this thread. Crossdressing isn't my thing, but I'm curious as to how Facepunch looks dressed as a girl.[/QUOTE] Browse through every page, a lot of us posted pictures before.
I don't know if it's just me or not but I find the word "sissy" and the idea behind it as the most disgusting thing ever. (not referring to crossdressing or being feminine) Just thinking out loud

It's simply amazing how casual transphobia is. Unlike with racist comments, where people do that little look around to make sure there's no racial minorities within earshot, people just blab it out without even giving it a second thought. I'm at my favorite coffee shop, I go there every single day. The barista working the counter is pretty friendly with me, we usually have little conversations, sometimes we see each other around town and she'll go out of her way just to say hi. She's talking with a friend about a party, when he says "Bring some friends, and make sure they're REAL girls, I don't want no lady cocks." She laughs and says "Trannies are so gross, eughh." Meanwhile I'm standing right fucking there, at the counter directly in front of her, shocked like "Did you really just say that?". I pay for my drink and storm the fuck out of there. Guess I need to find a new coffee shop.

I don't know what else you could do other than just start going to a therapist (if you haven't already), and go through with it, whether or not you tell her. D: Take your time and think it through.
Ordered my socks!
I'm getting a tote bag C:
Well, I drove home, got to my mom's house and... I chickened out of telling her. I can never bring myself to tell her something on this level of seriousness face to face. I need to get the message across some other way. Maybe when she goes out tomorrow I can send her a text or something. God...

I ended up sending her a text, then having a skype chat (typing only) then going back home a few hours later and not really talking about it until the evening. I found it worked pretty well because it gave us both time to think :)

Just try your hardest. <3 It's easier to tell someone without being face to face, to be honest. Makes them the one who confronts you. It's how I told my sister. I told her on MSN when she was right downstairs. So yeah, why not text her?
I might go to the mall next week to look at cloths. Last time I went to the wall I had an anxiety attack. :v:

Call me old fashioned, but a handwritten letter can make go a long way, and comes across as a lot more personal than an email or a text could. Or you could do what I did and leave somewhat obvious hints and when she asks you about it, play it off as a completely normal and ordinary thing.
I keep coming into this thread now... EDIT: Not that it's a bad thing, I'm just not a crossdresser, homosexual or transgender.
