    Hello, my name is Jasper, and I recently found out I'm actually a boy. However, something weird has been happened. Before recently, my depression medication used to suppress my gender dysphoria, but now it seems to do the opposite. Anyone know why this could have happened? My psychiatrist hasn't made any recent changes to the medication recently. Also, any general tips for coming out as trans? I'm gonna try talking to my therapist first before telling them, but I have to tell them sometime why I'm suddenly not wearing makeup and wearing boy clothing. Hope you all are having a fabulous day!
    p.s. how do i wrap my head around the fact that I am now a straight boy instead of a lesbian?
    p.p.s. any good book recs about trans kids? I've read a few but I want more.

    idk how the medication did that but i do know a good way to come out, first you could just write them a letter explaining everything, or second you could sit them down with your device of internet access open and ready with some videos, blogs, books on trans males and just explain to them and then give them time to wrap their minds on how their little girl is actualy a boy

    You could write your parents a letter, that way you can get down all of your feelings, and they can read it and have time to process it
