PLIX,

Do that which will make YOU happy and do not worry about them.

I know this cute gal who started out life as a boy. She graduated from High School that way. too.

She ain't no boy now!

Do what makes YOU happy. Then, things start falling into place.

My mom and my brother are the only two people out of my immediate family who know. My brother has disowned me, and my mom says "I don't approve or accept, but I won't disown you" as if that is supposed to make me feel better. I guess I'll just to have to give them time. But the only reason I am as far as I am now is because I knew this is something I had to do for myself. If I followed their wishes, I don't think I could have any kind of life at all.

I'm sorry to hear that. Given that you are in a small town you may wish to move to a more liberal area, where transistioning would not be as danagerous, and also more jobs would be available. And if your goal is to transistion the sooner that you start the better you will feel about the end result.

I wouldn't call it a small town, but it's still pretty conservative. Most of California tends to be liberal, but I happen to live a conservative pocket.

Wow, Krister you are so right, my whole life I lived how my family thought I should, now I live for me and my family is still there for me. I just wish I could have figured that out at a younger age.

Plix, I know its hard right now feeling all alone but here you are part of our family and we will always be here for you.
