    I am completely new to this whole being out thing. I have only told one person and she is the most important person. My girlfriend and I love each other so much we are practically married. We have a long distance thing going on. It's harder than anything else but the time we get together is amazing:icon_wink. I don't know how to tell my partents that I'm really a guy stuck in a females body. I hate this feeling. My girlfriend is completely supportive of my decisions to transition. On top of all this....I live in a place where homosexuality is frowned upon. How am I supposed to expect to be accepted?! I'm only 15 and so far...life is ok.

    I just want some advice/help.

    Thanks A Lot
    Joey

    second, u don't have to tell people where u live if ur not comftorable with them knowing. as for your parents, there's information u could give them that might make it easier for them.

    What kind of information? I know a lot but it's like no one conversation can sum it up.

    Also....where can I find it?

    Welcome Joey! Google Trans Family Advocates...they might be able to give you some good advice on coming out to your parents.
