Embracing yet afraid (finally, something positive from me!)

[Roy-kun231]

I'm a transman and I embrace that I am such. But I'm also afraid.

Now, I'm not asking for advice but I wouldn't mind some. I just need to get this out and maybe find someone to talk to.

I have a plan for coming out. First, to my mom, and ask her if she'll let me live as a boy outside of school and call me by the right name and pronouns, at least when it's just within my family. I know she'll talk to my dad about it, so that kind of eliminates the need to tell him (though I will need to educate him on trans stuff)
Next, my brother. m not really worried about how he'll react but he might decide to turn it against me when he's angry.
Then family friends and the rest of my family. I'm kind of nervous about telling them.
Finally, my counselor and then my school. By then I may have been daring enough to pass at school at least once.

So... yeah.

You are being very courageous and you should be proud of yourself.

Do you know how your mother will react?

Coming out and being ready to transition is a big and huge step and its not an easy one, just make sure you build yourself a support group. And if you have any questions on transition feel free to PM me or ask here. I have many friends that have gone through it and thought about doing it myself also.

I hope you the best in your journey

I think talking to your parents about coming out is a very good thing. It is way better for your parents to find out from you. Also I think it is better then keeping it from staying locked up inside you. your plan sounds good to me. feel free to message me.

It's amazing that you are so courageous!
I myself wouldn't have the courage to tell my family that I'm bisexual. When you tell others, please brace yourself for whatever reactions you may get. Anything involving gender or sexuality can be hard for others to understand and support at first. I hope your family and friends will accept you for who you are.
