How the fuck do I come out to my parents?
I'm an 18 year old transwoman, my parents know nothing about trans people, and I need to socially transition soon because if I don't I probably won't make it to 20. I feel desperate, weak and one push away from breaking down completely, being trans but not being able to express it, is tearing me apart. I won't be able to be put on hrt for a while as I'm in the UK and I've only heard massive wait times for this. I'll probably start self medding soon.
I have no idea what to do and I'm lost, any help and advice will be massively appreciated. My family isn't a super religious family, but they definitely won't understand.
I'm just looking for general help here to keep me going I guess.

Gotta love that socialised healthcare!
>>
>>8285647
I know, privatised is the way to go, fuck any sort of government intervention other than roads, emergency services, and an army.
You don't have to tell me I'm liberal right.
>>
>>8285656
Based af.

Just self-med in secret until you're ready to come out. You don't need to rush the coming out.
>>
>>8285600
There really isn't an answer other than jump in it. It's hard to get over that gap, but if they're good, they'll listen to you and not brush it off as some phase or delusion
>>
>>8285600

Sit them down and watch The Danish Girl together.

Then reveal that YOU were Eddie Redmayne all along.

Like a Scooby Doo unmasking, only with more self-hatred and family drama.
>>
>>8285600
idk I'm in the same situation
maybe I'll just self-med and stay in the closet forever
>>
>>8285757
>the Danish girl

literally agp the film
>>
>>8285793
If you self med, you'll eventually grow tits, hard to stay in the closet if you have tits.
>>
>>8285600
I was you when I was 18, but I made it to 20 and now on self medding

Start self medding now would be my advice, if you can't deliver to your house then get a po box
>>
>>8285801
Lile Elbe who the film was based on was an AGP, like OP probably is. Dora Richter, the other "first transwoman", was an HSTS.
>>
>>8285868
I'm agp based on what? Other then your need to feel superior due to a failing life on your behalf.
>>8285847
>>8285686
Who would you recommend to buy the titty skittles then?

>I'm agp based on what?
Asking how to come out like you did, at 18, and feeling you can't express that you're trans.

Most trans girls on 4chan are AGP anyway so it's the statistically correct guess even if you hadn't written OP.

>Other then your need to feel superior due to a failing life on your behalf.
I'm AGP...
>>
>>8285941
I think using the term AGP is fine since some people clearly have AGP, but AGP is not the defining trait of them being trans. They're trans and they're AGP. There are also trans people who are not AGP, and defining them as HSTSs shows weird adherence to old pseudoscience. Larry Nuttbrock has shown that like a 4th of the exclusively androphilic transsexuals in his research are AGP.
>>
>>8285941
The issue isn't coming out, the issue is coming out in a way where I won't be, laughed at, brushed off as if it's a phase, or kicked off into the streets. I can express myself when I'm with myself, the problem is the same as above. Sorry if I jumped to conclusions I'm just at the edge of my emotional tether.
>>
>>8285976

Not gonna happen. If you think coming out is going to be absolutely okay and fine and you'll never be laughed at, told 'it's just a phase,' or fear becoming homeless you are wrong.

Regardless, you are aware you are trans, determined to transition, and don't want to die. That's as good as it might get. For a lot of trans people they might get disowned, laughed at, or misgendered but at least they aren't suicidal anymore.

With that said a lot of families are initially resistant to transitioning then accept it. A lot of parents fear "losing their child" although that's admittedly pretty fucking stupid since their child is still the same just in a body they don't want to annihilate. So while you have initial fears about how coming out may go you should be aware it may change over time and in the future. Don't forget in regards to transitioning it's better to ask for forgiveness than to ask permission.
>>
>>8286013
I know it's gonna be tough, I just don't want that kind of treatment from my immediate family. I'm not expecting a perfect life when I transition, just one where I don't want to an hero, and don't feel depressed trapped and disgusted by my own body.

Thanks for the advice and heads up though.

You're going to learn unconditional love is conditional and people are going to hate trans people, act nice when they meet you, then rabidly send you hate mail on FB. I don't know if your parents will pay for a therapist, see you get diagnosed with gender dysphoria, then say the therapist was paid to say that and you're not trans. I don't know. There's rarely going to be any logic or consistency in how you will be treated and you'll just have to bear it. Again, you're not dead.

Transitioning doesn't fix every problem but it sure fixes dysphoria. Life can be rough and transitioning will cause more than a few problems by itself yet having a body you can be comfortable in is the best starting point anyone can have (and indeed, deserves). People get pissed off at hugboxing but you'll probably find you become more social and happy as your quality of life improves. It really does get better. You just need to hang in there.

Also:

>Don't smoke
>Don't eat 50kg of peanuts in a day
>Don't drink alcohol a lot
>Looking in the mirror everyday is a quick way to depress yourself since most changes occur after month 6
>If anyone asks and you're not ready to come out as trans just say you use Vitamin C cream or supplements
>Get a binder or wear baggy clothes
>You'll pass better than you think since you are your worst critic. Prepare to be complimented on your skin commencing month 2. On the other hand, don't trust hugboxers who tell you that you pass by week 3 or halfway through month 1.
>You can't reason with everyone and you don't need to fight intellectual battles to justify why you transitioned to every single person you ever meet in your entire life. Just saying you don't want to discuss it or explaining how much transitioning has helped you then walking away is perfectly fine.

Hey OP. I'm in a similar boat, except I'm FTM, came out and went back into the closet.

It's really hard and there's no way to tell for sure how your family will react, but it will help you decide your future. Family isn't everything, I promise. Your life is important. Getting new, more feminine clothes or at least coming out to good friends might help.

I could also lend an ear if you need to vent.
>>
>>8285600
you have a 47% chance of killing yourself anyways why not make it easier on them
>>
>>8285600
Talk with mother at first. I think he's just react to this like: "Oh my, what is it". Yep Mother always accept you. WTF man, you are 18, you are not a fucking child and you "scared" to talk with a parents. O boy

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and say your foreign and not just shitposting.
My mother will probably think it's chemicles in the water making me gay, she comes from a Muslim upbringing as well, so she is the last person to talk to about this stuff.

Don't give /pol/ a hard time, you get a lot of liberals interested in current affairs like me, OP, there. It's not all gay interracial fetishist nazis.

Stop making the meme of businessmen being lucky idiots gambling other people's money sound true.

/pol/itical views are a different kind of stupid. If you're an ancap who posts there you must have noticed how bad it is with numbers.
