    I'm sorry that nobody was replied yet.

    I'm not an expert on this stuff. But from what you say, you could very well have GID.

    Now, as for telling your parents, do you think you can tell them? Safety is always 1st.

    If you think you can I think you should tell them what you mentioned in the post, and ask for a therapist. The therapist should be able to help you out and help you take necessary steps to help you express your true self.

    Well I assume you know your parents pretty well. Have you ever heard them express distaste for LGBT people? I think if you don't they are going to have an absolutely horrible reaction, its better to start working out your gender identity as soon as possible. I wish I had come out when I first started to realize around 6th or 7th grade.

    First of all, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be girly. It does sound like all the signs of transgender, which unfortunately, I'm not terribly familiar with.

    I can say though, that your life is yours alone, and you don't get a single second back. As much as you can, make it count, even if it means living as a gender other than that whose equipment you have. :wink:
