    Alright, I've been thinking on "coming out" for a long time. I'm scared that I'll regret coming out though. I want to come out as "FTM" but I don't want to end up somehow becoming "cis" later down the road. Also, with my family I feel as if the only way I'll be taken seriously is I have to start T otherwise I won't be "male" in my family's eyes. I suffer from very low self-esteem too so that makes it even more tough. :/

    I fear taking T because of regret. And I don't want my top dysphoria to get worse while being on T because my body will take on more of a male shape and well.. u get what I mean. I get top dysphoria but not too often but I feel like it might get worse if I'm on T.

    All in all, I'm frustrated because I'm not confident enough to say "I'm 100% FTM" to my family. Some days I think I'll only be happy if I get on T but I don't want T and there's a lot of the problem too. I just... deal with it. -Shrugs-

    What do you guys think?

    I'm in the same boat! I have gotten really close to coming out before, but I get worried that I'll regret it etc. I'm 95% sure I'm trans now, so hopefully I can start sorting things out, but as for you I would suggest not coming out as trans until you're sure. Perhaps explaining to someone you know and trust what it is that you're going through would help you?
