i recently started to notice i have many similarities to ones who are transgendered (i read the artickle on how to know if your transgender) and it has lead me to wonder if its ok i officially am confident and notice that i am after 2 years of questioning. But im scared on how to come out like i know what im going to message my ma (my most trusted one im willing to share with in the family) but i dont know what to look out for as a responce and i worry she will disown me and be mad even when i see her as the most trusting parent to share this with (my parents are divorced by the way). So if i could id love some help and motivation. please and thanks (i still hope that this doesnt ruin any of my friendships with you besties =( so so so sorry if it does) Also i would like to someday wear dresses/skirts or any female clothing in general and paint my nails too someday (also please dont be judgey in the comments please and thanks and really apreciate positive and kind and honest comments to lesson my fear and anxiety of my ma doesnt love me anymore or anything bad like that)

Hi. It’s really cool you felt you could share this with the wikiHow community. You didn’t have to apologise though. Congratulations on figuring yourself out. I hope as you share what you’ve come to know about yourself you get support, understanding and co-operation. This article might help you: [[ wikihow.com/Come-Out-As-Transgender.]
] When it comes to what you wear, then like everyone else in the world, you don’t have to dress anymore pink and sparkly than you want to. It’s fine to dress in an androgynous way. I know young men who happy in a tee shirt, jeans and tennis shoes and women who wear the same. You don’t have to wear a skirt to be female. When it comes to getting people to understand, it might help to tell them everyone transitions! We all go from being children to adults. Adults don’t like to be treated like kids. When someone is disrespectful to an adult or makes an assumptions about their maturity based on their looks, it’s very similar to people treating girls like boys, or boys like girls, it’s just RUDE to call someone she if that’s not want they want, like calling a grown man “boy” or a woman, “little lady”. Thinking this way, as transition being something we ALL go through in a way may help your friends and familiar identify with what you’re experiencing.
Wish you the best of luck.

It’s great you’re getting help if you need it - the hospital and similar professional mental health resources are the best options for seeking support for anyone whose wellbeing or safety may be in danger.
At wikiHow, we’re happy to support one another - and you - in editing and in more light-hearted life matters, but it’s important that you and anyone in a similar position seek individualized, professional, ideally in-person support if you’re struggling with larger issues, as suggested by the mention of a hospital here and in other threads. Please continue seeking out that kind of support in person.
To avoid any confusion or inappropriate guidance here, I’m going to remove a couple of posts containing more intimate personal or health-related details from other threads similar to this one. I’ll go ahead and close this one. Please keep taking care of yourself and getting the help you need in person. Best wishes from us all.
