How do I tell my parents?

Explain to them how you feel, then once they understand that maybe tell them what you want to do.

What are your parents like?

Exactly what happened?

They're fairly open minded. My dad kind of wanted me to grow to be a jock, and that didn't work. I'm a fairly masculine guy. My face is somewhat feminine, but my body is muscular and wide. Back to my parents. I feel like my dad would come to accept me, but our bond would be broken, and my mom is just plain neurotic. I do not know how she will react.

It was just a string of events. My parents think transgender people are creepy.

Describe the kind of pretending to be a girl you were doing, and exactly what your parents' reaction was.

Also, I've wanted to be female as long as I can remember, I've even been female in my dreams. I've been thinking this over for a very long time.

I would just pretend I was them. Take on their mindset I guess. I would tell my mom I was Buttercup from The Power Puff Girls, and she'd basically say hinks like, "but you're a boy"

Start now, the rest follows.

Why is she better off in the closet?

>>8074094
Because her mother thinks it's bad to deviate from her set gender.

Psh, who cares. Just transition anyway. And OP, if you're still living with them, move out and get away. Live your life.

So? She doesn't have to do what her parents say and she's old now anyway and hopefully can't be pushed around so easily.

Also, i'm 20 years old.

There's still time to stop the worst effects of hondom. Tell your parents how you feel and get on HRT ASAP before you start balding.
