I came across this website by a few random google searches about various things, and since it's 12 AM and I couldn't sleep, I decided to register. Especially because this seems like such a great place to be completely myself without feeling pressured at all. I think I've always sort of known that I was trans--or at least was aware that I definitely wasn't a girl. Whenever I tried to think of myself as a girl I felt horribly wrong for some reason, and whenever I hit puberty I got so confused and frustrated with my own body and how others perceived me. I think when I made a blog was when I finally realized what being trans actually was and it felt like such an epiphany to me. So yeah, here I am? I live in a household that sees trans people as jokes and I also live in the middle of Texas, so I'm honestly conflicted about coming out any time soon to anyone just because of my personal safety. It's awful, but I want to wait until I'm older and more confident to tell my family.
Welcome to EC! And you shouldn't feel bad or pressured about coming out to anybody. You should only tell when you're ready.
You live in the same time zone as me! HELLO SAME-TIMEZONE PERSON! I feel the same way about you in a few ways. Being trans, feeling really weird when I think of myself as a girl, getting relieved when I realized I was trans, and living in the middle of a community full of assholes - and so do many others. I've gotten a lot of help here and I think you will too, if you choose to ask for it. Either way, welcome to EC. I wish you good luck!
Welcome to EC and if u ever need someone to talk to hit me up! Otherwise I feel for you and hope the best for you.
