Wow! It's been quite a while since I last came to this site. I found this book written by a gender therapist in Colorado. It's titled "You and Your Gender Identity: A Guide to Discovery." I began to realize that I am trans. Actually, I already thought I have been trans before I even started reading the book. I just doubted myself because my dad thinks this is a phase. For months, I felt like a fake (hiding my true self) whenever I am around my friends. Not so long ago - about sometime last week - I came out to one of my friends. I was shaky nervous and feeling nauseous, but then I felt a huge relief. He was cool with it. He said he would support me 100%, and he agreed to keep this between us until I'm ready to come out to my other friends.
