Mom doesn't believe I'm trans. How can I explore my gender?

Unread post by Animefan »

Hey I'm new to this forum. I think I might be a trans man. I came out to my mom and my older sister. My mom doesn't support me at all and she thinks it's a phase. My older sister is supportive.

I've been struggling a lot with depression. I don't have any money and I don't drive and moving out is not an option.

What are some small things I can do to explore my gender?

Hi Animefan,

We can absolutely discuss ways to explore your gender, but before that, I have a question: There are two other accounts that post from the same IP address as this account, under the names shypixie and booknerd. Our guidelines only allow one account per person — this allows us to keep track of the conversations we've had and provide better support. Would you tell us which account you would prefer to keep so we can shut down the others?
