    there are lots of gay transmen out there. i've got a preference for guys, myself. gender identity and sexual orientation are two very different things, which it might be helpful to explain to your mom. you could also try showing your mom some resources pertaining to transgender youth, such as pamphlets or documentaries. you might want to suggest she go to a support group for parents of trans kids. the PFLAG website has a lot of great websites.

    there are many other people who feel the same as you do. finding those people, whether it be on tumblr like you said or on a forum like this one, is very helpful in making us feel less alone. i'd encourage you to keep engaging in trans communities.

    good luck friend, stay strong (*hug*)

    it's totally okay to feel like that! there are lots of gay transmen, and Tumblr is definitely a good resource when you're transitioning.

    gender and sexual orientation have nothing to do with each other

    Yep, I'm a gay transguy :slight_smile:

    Sorry about your mom. I haven't found the courage to tell mine yet. It's really difficult for people to understand dysphoria if they don't have it. It's like a bird explaining to a fish how to fly. You're in a safe place. No one here is going to tell you your feelings are wrong (*hug*)

    Hello, gay transman here!
    I felt the same way, when I was searching, every other trans man I saw seemed to be with girls.
    No one's going to tell you it's wrong here, this is a very open and accepting community, this is a safe space for us all
