trans*takes DEEP breath* I plan on telling my parents about me tomorrow (Friday June 10) Ok, its time. The past few days I have been on the net on message boards, reading things etc. The courage that was shown in these adolescents were amazing in telling their parents. I don't want to be a male anymore. I have to tell my parents what I have been feeling, and that I truly want to be a girl. I think that if I keep postponing it, I will keep saying "I'll tell soon" until I am 70 years old and then I'll regret that I didn't do it earlier. I think my parents will actually be very supportive, I know they love me and want what’s best for me. I go to a (private) high school that has $12,000 year tuition and they pay it off because they want me to get the best education possible in Connecticut. (CT) Now I emailed some transgender youth communities in CT and they said I should give my parents this pamphlet:

I personally think this is a good one. What do you guys think? I plan on giving them it then giving them a few seconds to see what there reaction is then taking a huge breath and saying what I have been feeling for the past 10 years. I truly hope everything goes well. The problem is I want to start therapies, taking meds, etc. so I can transition to a female but if I do that, that means I have to be home schooled. I don’t know what my parents would think of home schooling over Northwest Catholic (My high school)
In the end, I actually think my mother knows about me. One time she left me alone in the house to go to the grocery store (this wasn’t even 6 months ago) and I was trying on her dress and I left it on my bed and when she came I forgot and she saw it. She didn’t say anything, but she gave one of those looks that she knew what I was doing. I think she will be happy with me because I told her and my father, I am very close to my mother and I tell her *almost* everything (There’s some things teens keep to themselves and friends hehehe) Wish me luck you guys. I learned telling your parent is like going into a cold pool. You just have to suck it up, take a big breath and dive on in and hope you don’t hit the bottom.
P.S: My mother has 3 children (including me) and they are all boys. She always said she wanted a girl, Gee- what a coincidence huh? :-P
Love,
Always and Forever,
Josh
