The Dark Lord

Both. I feel uncomfortable with a male body, and I identify as a female.

Honest question: Are you gay? I like guys, but I am not sure I would call myself gay. I usually just tell people I'm bisexual if they ask me. @Ray: I'm going to be 16 in February. I don't believe leaving the house is an option for a couple more years.

They're trying to get my hair cut shorter, making me get rid of my long nails, making me grow hair on my arms and legs, etc. Plus, they get mad at me when I act feminine. They treat me as if I'm something disgusting sometimes. One day I said something to my dad, and my voice sounded feminine. He said "You're trying to sound like a girl, aren't you?" He kept pressuring me about it.

My mom confronted me earlier this morning and forced me to show her my legs. When she saw that they were shaved, she became angry. My parents are FORCING me to look like a male. They are destroying me. My head feels like someone is squeezing it. I think I'm having an anxiety attack. It's horrible.

I feel the same. Although some of them look great out of their suits too. O:) Aww! It's so CUTE! I have never worn a tie before.

I was "dude-like" during the time that you've known me because of my male persona that I created years ago. (Most transsexuals create one in order to "fit in." Many, such as myself, are sick and tired of pretending to be someone we're not, so we attempt to transition.) I've always perceived myself to be a girl. Even my mental voice is female. I took that BBC "brain gender" test for fun by the way. O:) I mostly studied gender identity to be honest.

Thanks. :) I'm worried that I'll end up making a mistake by getting SRS and hormone replacement therapy (trans), but I'm sure about my feelings. I'm just afraid that I'll transition physically and then get labeled a "freak" and I won't be able to have a love life. I also live in a small town in the South. It's not a very good environment for a transgender to be in. I'm literally afraid that some redneck would try to kill me if the information was leaked. Right now, they just know that I'm effeminate and they make fun of me. My secular psychologist told me that he can't find a youth organization for transgenders in our area. He's still trying to find one for me though.

[/hide] Bah... you might be right. But getting distracted and avoiding the problem might not be a good solution either, so try to avoid excesses, Serephus, ok? To reb: the same thing happened to me. I might try to change my post accordingly, using "Ser" instead of pronouns. You both are right. I need to stop obsessing about this. I also noticed that no one has really created a topic about transgenders, so I thought it would be an original and good topic to discuss. If anyone wishes to know, it would be polite to use "she" and "her" instead of "he" or "his."

lol. That would be ironic.

Well, yes. Gender dysphoric people don't feel comfortable about their birth sex.

My birth sex is male.

Recently, I've been going through intense problems. I have found out that I have gender dysphoria, a feeling that you do not match mentally and physically (gender-wise). Well, my parents are overly-Conservative fundamental Christians. Since I'm transsexual, this causes a lot of trouble for me. Yes, my parents do love me, but they express it by trying to suppress my transgender feelings and trying to make me be what they want me to be. My father found a link to TransgenderCare in my history folder on my computer. That's how he found out. I've been to a psychologist and a doctor about this already. They were amazed at my knowledge on this subject and how I described everything that made me draw the conclusion of gender dysphoria. Of course, they agree with me that I probably should undergo transition therapy if it's the only thing that'll make me happy. My parents don't like them telling me this, so they are trying to find me a Christian psychiatrist. I don't like this at all because I'm not sure if the psychiatrist will try to suppress how I feel about my self or not. I'm sorry about the post. It was typed in a hurry. This is the first time that I've been able to get on the computer without my parents breathing down my neck. I'll try to edit the post and add more details when I come back. Please feel free to discuss your interest. I thought that this would be an interesting topic to start.

Good one.

Nice. I'm not totally sure what that is, but from your title, it looks like it is very good.

Lawful - Good I value following rules. I think everyone should be treated fairly as well.

I was thinking about you and the test not too long ago. Good job. As for giving away 'RS gold,' I would wait until Christmas to do it. I think most players would appreciate receiving any amount that you give them, so it doesn't really matter what price your party hat is when you sell it. Good luck in life. I'm thinking about getting a psychology degree and specializing in a gender-related area. I would enjoy working in a gender clinic or counseling other transgenders (especially transsexuals) considering that I am one. They would be able to relate with me. Do you know anything about what degrees I need to obtain, etc. for the career that I want? I'm 15 and I'm very sure that's what I want to do.

lol. Weren't you saying that homosexuality was wrong on another topic a few days ago? I was confused when I saw your post just now (this one). I thought you were a Christian. You would call me an Agnostic Theist. I acknowledge that you can't prove/disprove God, yet I still believe in God; however, I don't follow a religion. I also left Christianity because I am transsexual, and most Christians that I've seen hate any people like me (including gays). I'm already at a much higher risk of mental illnesses just because I have gender dysphoria. I don't need any thing that will make it worse for me.

That's what happened to me on my PLAN exam yesterday. I was extremely nervous for some reason, and it didn't help that I had internal conflicts throughout the test. I even broke a nail and had a cold, which didn't help either. I used to pray before an exam. (when I used to be a Christian) Seeing as I'm agnostic now, that probably wouldn't convince my mind enough to trigger the placebo effect. By the way, drinking orange juice and eating bagels in the morning of the day in which you take an exam should help you concentrate. Plus, it's healthy for you. : )

Have fun. At least you get to come back when Jagex actually starts listening to players' ideas more. The game looks better now than when I quit.

The max of the Saradomin Blade is 777 and the max of the Zamorak Blade is 666. Duh.

At least they didn't start performing a brain post-mortem on him yet. Hopefully the incision was small. I don't think it would be very pleasant if he had a 5-inch-long incision on his face and he looked like Frankenstein...

Read the part in my sig right next to "Thanks 4be2jue for this sig." But yeah... It feels like it. lol.

I'm in a situation like Ash, except the opposite. lol I haven't read past page 175 yet. ::thumbs down:: It's been a month since I read any of it.

That's horrible that your father would say that. She doesn't seem to be mentally stable at the moment, and he is only causing more psychological harm.

(love the quote in your sig, btw) Aww... So CUTE! :hugs: :D Oh and thanks. It's a nice, optimistic quote and can really be a good thing to read when you're feeling depressed.
