Scared/New/Unsure
Oct. 11th, 2009 10:09 pmOkay, I'm FtM trans and I've not yet come out to anyone. I've hinted to a few people about whats going on, but I haven't flat out told anyone that I'm a guy and I want to transition. So basically, I'm scared out of my mind as to what its going to entail, the friends and family I'm going to lose, etc.
I've bound quite a bit before, but its real hard cause quite frankly, I've got a big chest, not real sure what kind of binder to get to accommodate that. Not real sure about anything.
Not sure what transitioning is going to entail entirely.
I mean, I know basics, but I need to know more.
From people who actually know what its like.
And MtF opinions and advice is welcome too.
Another main concern is voice. I have a very feminine voice and I'm also in a band and I'm afraid that even if I do manage to develop a decent masculine voice, that I won't be able to sing with it.
Any advice/support/or anything would be absolutely fantastic.
Basically, I'm just scared and confused, and completely freaked.
Thanks.
