Hello. This has been bothering me for some time now, so I thought I should check out a community, leery as I am, and give it a try.

Physically I'm a sixteen year old female in America. I live in a Christian home, with a pastor for a dad. I've identified myself as bisexual for about five years now, been lightly cross-dressing for about half that time, and I've been binding for two years. I've suspected I'm trans, or something akin, on and off for awhile now. I prefer looking like a boy most of the time, even though I can't quite pull it off.

I've wanted mamoplasty for awhile, but resist telling anyone - specifically, my parents and counsillor - up until now because I thought it might be, as my mother said, "just a phase". But I don't think it is.

I'm wondering, is there anyone out there older than I who's gone through this and come out realizing it WAS a "phase". Or, is there any suggestions other than going under the knife? Better binding techniques? Help? Support? Anything.
