:helplease help by replying if you think i have GID (gender identity disorder) or if you think im transgenered this is very hard for me right now:tears:
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.
tnk jvn95 i think that might help but im still afraid because ive heard of parents disowning their children because they feel like this
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.
