Got into an argument with my dad about transgenders. He said he can “identify as an African American and it doesn’t make it true, but in our minds he should get special treatment since he identifies as black.” It doesn’t make any sense. This is the reason I’ve held it in. I didn’t tell anybody. I’ve only told my favorite person but she has to use she/her pronouns with me at work because my dad works there and I’m not out there either. I hate not feeling like I can be myself.
It’s fine you’re replying to me! I’m glad someone understands where I’m coming from. It just sucks that I’m literally 25 and I’m still in the closet because I’m not able to move away just yet. I want to start living as trans in a new area where nobody knows me but it feels like it’d be too late at that point. I want to start T eventually but that definitely won’t be for another two or three years.-snip-
I'm cis but it's definitely never too late to start transitioning; my friend started T when they were about 24 and it's done a lot of good for them, although they're no longer using it because they got what they wanted out of it (mostly just voice deepening). I hope you're able to start your transition at some point and in a safe way.It’s fine you’re replying to me! I’m glad someone understands where I’m coming from.

After the fact though, I will be hesitant to keep in contact with family because my voice will definitely change on T and yeah.., that’s a bridge I’ll cross when I come to it.
