>>
>>8200085
Dunno really without a picture, depends from face to face. (don't actually post one, you know why)
Basically i looked like 15 at 20, like a young boy already, cute boy.
I Had forehead type 1 done, hairline lowering, chin and jaw shave.. There's nothing left which would be considered male, yet I still puke when I see my reflection. Something's just off and I cant pinpoint it.

>what ffs you should get first
If you want to get ffs, a smooth chin and jawline is the most important to passing then brow bossing.

Didn't get my nose done because its rather small, if I will then only for beauty reasons. Dont know how bad yours is tho

>ignoring the fact that they always voted Democrat

>tfw this means nothing when your parents are Hispanic

Anyway, I wasn't really that GNC, more like I was genderless and emotionless because of depression. Eventually there came a point where my father asked if there was something wrong with me and he said could take me to see a doctor to see if I have a vitamin deficiency or my body isn't producing something I need since I was depressed as shit at and not at all the way I was as a small child (happy). At first I brightened up and thought he realized I wanted to be a girl, but then I realized he must be talking about some homeopathic garbage (he had done this before) or anti-depressants and that his mind was already set on me having some other issue. I thought for sure he wouldn't have accepted me being trans because he had already blown up about it before. So I told him that I didn't want anything. That might have been at 13 or 14. He might have asked me some times after that, but I only remember the first time.

A year after coming out, my father said even though he wouldn't think starting transition would be a good thing for me to do, he would have allowed me to when I was underage. I'm not totally sure I should believe that, but when I came out to my parents, I got the impression that I worried for nothing and though they would have been against me at first, I could have convinced them. It was a painful feeling.

>>8200077
>>8200082

But anyway, I'm surprised there are two more anons like you. The first one I met on this board was taken to a gender therapist at 6, the other I think was asked at 13 as well, but her parents were electrical engineers and she started at 18.
>>
>>8207589
>I thought for sure he wouldn't have accepted me being trans because he had already blown up about it before.
How did he blow up before?

What age did you end up coming out?

>The first one I met on this board was taken to a gender therapist at 6
How does that happen?

>the other I think was asked at 13 as well, but her parents were electrical engineers and she started at 18.
What do electrical engineers have to do with it?
>>
>>8200077
>>8200082
>>8207589

Forgot to add, I can't imagine the self-hatred you two must feel. I hate myself pretty badly and I wasn't even directly offered up the early tranny option by my parents like you four were.

>>8207633

>How did he blow up before?

See >>8198788

There was a time before that, when I think I was a 6th grader that my brother and I were arguing about our youngest brother being our assistant. I would say our youngest brother was my assistant, and my brother would say that he was his. My father misheard (because he doesn't speak English properly) that we were saying that he's our sister and he butted in to "correct" us. Apparently that reminded him of a time when I was 2 or 3, when I was calling the same brother that I was arguing with my sister. In that case, he likely didn't mishear me because I don't think I knew English by that point.

>What age did you end up coming out?

I came out to my brother two months before turning 21, but 15 days before my birthday when I told my parents.

>How does that happen?

I don't remember as well anymore. It was probably because she was GNC. She was taken to the psych and the psych was convinced she was trans, but she was worried about doing it, I don't remember her reason for feeling that way. Since she decided it wasn't appropriate for her to transition, she felt it wouldn't be right for her parents to waste money on the therapy sessions, so she didn't make another appointment (I could really see myself in that). She had multiple suicide attempts after that and she ended up in a psychiatric hospital. There, her parents asked her what was wrong with her and she came out as trans. Her parents said that if she really were trans the psych they took her to as a child would have helped her so they don't think she's trans at all.

>>8208923

>What do electrical engineers have to do with it?

I only mentioned the electrical engineer part and that she started at 18 to distinguish her from >>8200082. When I talked to her, I asked her if she thought her parents might have met other trannies in their line of work (since trannies so often end up working with computers) and if that made them open to the possibility of helping their trans child transition early. She said that her parents weren't rank and file engineers, instead I think her mother was a CTO and she said her father was a consultant, so she didn't think that was why.
>>
>>8200077
ill give you one reason to be me gf
>>
>>8208931
OP here. My parents are also in the computer industry. It really does seem that people in this line of work are more tolerant of these things.

Makes me want to die to realize all of this now.
>>
>>8209380
Generally the higher the education level, the more tolerant they are.
>>
>>8209389
I agree. They both have graduate degrees. That said, they're both immigrants from eastern asia, and have a very traditional and strict way of parenting. That's what led me to think they wouldn't support me.
>>
>>8209380
How long did you repress? How did you know you were trans?
>>
>>8214369
Repressed since 14. Before that, I was trying to build the courage to come out. And I've always known I was a girl. There was never an "aha" moment for me. If you mean when I found the definition of transgender and how it applied to me, probably around 12-13.
>>
>>8215060
How were you feminine before learning about transgender? How did you start repressing at 14?
>>
>>8215246
Umm, well, it's hard to describe. I fit in with girls much, much more easily.

And these may be stereotypes, but I also preferred dressing up and looking pretty instead of being rough and cool, and I mostly preferred imagination/storytelling-related games and toys. I also much preferred reading and writing over math and abstract thinking, but majored in CS anyway (really getting into stereotypes now!)
>>
>>8200077
Same here, I just came out today to them both and they both knew

Parents always knew but know how hard it is
Where I live is pretty shitty to trans so they just hoped I'd grow out of it

They were always slightly homophobic, so I never came out but apparently my Dad had felt the same too but after they had me and my brother he just repressed it

You can look at your situation one of two ways. Either in the "GOD I'M AN IDIOT WHY DIDN'T I SAY ANYTHING UGGH!" way, or the "I'm so lucky to have such amazing parents <3" way.

They're probably mad OP was so lucky to have her parents but still fucked up so hard. In the cases I described in >>8208923 and >>8208931, I personally would like to believe I wouldn't be so stupid that I would waste a shot like that, but they gave really relatable reasons that put doubt in my mind about what I really would have done. So I don't resent them for fucking up. I do wish my parents had been like theirs instead though (up until taking the girl to a psych, not the part about ignoring her pleas for help after she stopped seeing the therapist).

I have been able to do my own shots since docs said I can do sub-cut injections. I don't feel the need to be inebriated all the time since transition because I'm not that much of a depressed piece of shit. I'm just glad to be where I am now.

Surprises of surprises, she was awful when I came out. Now I understand why black trans people end up as prostitutes ao often.

>>8220659
How old are you now and when did you start transition? Are you straight?

Anon could have been frightened to come out. They might not have been accepting despite asking her.
>>
>>8220659
Not her (I'm OP), but kids are idiots, especially if they're scared and alone. I legitimately thought my mom was trying to trick me into admitting I was trans so she had a valid excuse to kick me out or give me a beating.

My own parents were extremely strict and did often hit me, so I was frankly scared of them.
>>
>>8219216
I was kicked out for using drugs and alcohol and running away from home anon, since you didn't seem to catch that part.

Doesn't seem like he got kicked out for being trans though. More like keeping secrets and drugs/alcohol probably

It's sickening that any child, trans or cis, lives in this kind of fear.

I can't believe I wasted so many years of my life being scared of my parents. I can never get a read on how they'd react to their son wanting to transition, they're so confusing... I guess I'm pathetic for not just doing it. I even had the family therapist in my teens ask me what I wanted if I could have anything, but no, I guess this is what I get for not just speaking my mind boldly right then. I'll probably tell them soon, I just want to make sure I'm secure elsewhere with my (very supportive) boyfriend first.

Fuck, why can't things just be simpler. I'm such a colossal fuckup.

Put that way it makes more sense. If my mom did a 180 and started probing intp that I might have thought she was full of shit. Kinda like the therapy appointments I got dragged to for being sad/angry/depressed. They turned into a bitch session about how awful of a child I was until the therapist had to take me aside. didn't tell him anything because I though he'd tell my mom.
I kick myself all the time for not telling him how I was feeling.

Honestly there are so many people who have this issue - maybe try to get in on some kind of meetup for such circumstances? I know a person who didn't start transitioning until late 30s and will probably never "pass" beyond androgynous. (But they are particularly good with voices so that'll probably help a little, and always grew their hair long)

So basically - try to meet up/form relationships with other people based on shared /real world problems/ that's how most """"""normal"""""" relationships form.

It wasn't as bad as some other situations people have had to go through. My mom tried to cope by refusing to accept me as trans. Even me being gay was preferable to me being a tranny, and she hates fags. For the first year after I came out she mostly sent me emails detailing the rapes and deaths of trannies everywhere. After a while the things my mom sent to me started progressing into really bizarre accusations. For example, one time she thought I was going to join ISIS and her reasoning behind it was that since I was being discriminated against in America it must mean I was going to escape with a rebel group in retaliation. Her response to the issue was to email an explanation of how I'd get raped and killed if I decided leave the States to travel with terrorists.

It was humiliating to say the least. I couldn't even talk to her face-to-face without having to listen to her badger on about my legitimacy every 5 seconds. It started being a struggle just to exist in the same house as her. Tensions were at a constant high and we ended up fighting nearly every day over the most random shit. Eventually, I started avoiding her and asked her to stop bringing up tranny stuff so often and she did for a while. When we got along sometimes I would ask if I could take steps to transition, though her only response was to step around the problem whenever it was brought up. It always lead back to the stupid "are you sure you're not gay?" conversation. After a while I just gave up trying to explain anything; nothing I would have said would have been good enough.

The good thing is that I'm finally on hormones. My mom still hates the idea and looks disgusted whenever I mention I'm on medication, but at least I'm somewhat happier.
