This happend to someone I knew.\n\nwhat I suggest is keep on truckin' and be who you are.  Unfortunately in our society there will be people who will not accept for who you are, family included.  \n\nSometimes its too hard on them when they see you as a woman, some families prefer to just turn a blind eye and pretend that everything is alright.\n\nHopefully you have an open-minded family.\n\nClose-minded religious folks + GLBT is like oil and water.

Saying that openly on here is a start.  Find a counselor (many are free) in a gender you'd feel safest with, and try starting with small steps.  Tell them you don't feel comfortable opening up.  They know how to help you.

I would think that it would be illegal to do that to you.  It is a form of discrimination.  I would definately contact an attorney, and at least see what they have to say.  Then if you have many crossdressing friends, I would have a huge gathering at that very resturant, and order the cheapest thing on the menu and drink only water.  I know that, this doesn't exactly advance our cause of being accepted in society, but it sure would be fun.  Unfortunattely there are bigots out there, and we have to deal with them cause we are different, but that doesn't make us any less human.  I wish you luck in whatever you decide, you have more courage than many of us.

Yes now is a good time to tell her, and if she dont believe you let her see passions of the Christ.  Just tell her what you know and what you feel and why you feel,and it may take longer than 1 talk,take her to church, if you have a minister you could have him maybe talk with her....go to this sight,it may help you ,its my blog group,join if you like..look in links...\n\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/understandingthebible/

Don't lose hope.  Christ will forgive you.  There is a reason that you are attracted to men.  I believe that homosexuality is a gender identity problem  and not a sex problem.  \n\nI encourage you to seek counsel from someone you trust or use the websties suggested for guidance. Don't get discouraged. You will likey receive reactions from people that vary greatly and many people will oppose your desire to seek healing. The websites suggested are right on target and should be an encouragement to you.\n\nYou need to really figure out why you are attracted to males.  There are plenty of Christian counselors who will help you realize what's really going on.  Men who are struggling with homosexuality are often doing so because they need attention, affection and affirmation from males, often because it was lacking in their childhood.  Other things that can trigger gender identity disorder are sexual abuse, verbal abuse or emotional abuse.\n\nJust remember that you are not alone in your struggle for freedom. While the media and many people would like you to believe you can't change, there is hope for those who seek healing from their past wounds. Be encouraged and don't let negativity bring you down. Keep your eyes on what you truly desire: forgiveness.\n\nDon't accept what others (even me) tell you about homosexuality. Do your research and see for yourself.\n\nCheck out these books ...\nYou Don't Have to Be Gay\nThe Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality\n\nVisit these web-sites (Google them)...\nFocus on the Family - They have a conference called LOVE WON OUT that's awesome for those people who are trying to get out of that lifestyle.  I don't know if you label yourself gay but there is a difference between being gay and being attracted to men. The books above will help explain what I mean in more detail.  \n\nThe EXODUS website tells more about homsexuality as well.

If you do not like discrimination, you will need to choose your faith and church carefully. Sadly, some Christian faiths still discriminate against women, homosexuals, and even certain races.\n\nI belong to a wonderful Presbyterian church. Women have the same rights and powers as men, we welcome all races, and we have several gay members in our congregation. Look around, ask friends, talk to pastors, and try out various churches until you find the right fit.\n\nBarb Nefer

Hi- I am a MtF transsexual and I have some impressive ta-ta's (breasts for you clueless out there). I got a little greedy, told my doc (Thailand docs are the coolest!) to implant me with some big 'uns, and, well, I ended up with a 46 DDDD/G rack- Oy!\n\nAny way, my gay friends all act so jealous that I went ahead and got boobs (Yeah- like being a flat chested girl is supposed to be natural). I jokingly told one of my closest gay male friends that I would be happy to pay for him to get some of his own, but he acted shocked and immediately started back-pedaling on what he said he wanted. (He still likes to wear my bra occasionally- go figure).\n\nI think gay men are very in touch with their feminine side, and want to be more feminine, but getting a sex change seems to cross the line- they still enjoy being men and having their outdoor plumbing, too. I guess that also applies to getting boobs- they may like them, because they are an obvious outer sign of femininity, but they wouldn't actually want a pair attached to THEM. Watch Will & Grace- this theme comes up a lot between the characters Jack McFarland and Karen Walker.\n\nI enjoy it when my gay friend wants to masssage my boobies, though- I know it won't lead to sex.\n\nHope this helps...    =^.^=\n\nOh, and Jom156- you are a spaz fundie retard- the poster SPECIFICALLY SAID "no derogatory remarks", and, well I guess you couldn't resist-

Oh, Sweetie, I wish I could help you more than just listening and typing. Unfortunately I'm probably far far away from you. My advice would be to try and contact your nearest college which should have a gay/lesbian group or at least a help centre, unless of course, that university is Christian based. Also you could check with your county's dept of human services and ask them if there are any support groups in your area. You don't have to if you don't want to but I would suggest that you get someone to talk to and stay away from the bars. It's going to be lonely for a little bit until you find a group. Just be careful.

I'd probably just say "oh, ok then" cos that's just me. I would probably feel really special though, she must really trust you and see you as a good enough friend to tell you this. If she has never given away any "maleness" then she is a woman, that's why she "used" to be a man. She thinks like a woman, behaves like a woman, wants to be a woman, she just happens to have been born with a penis she didn't want!

Oh YES. Tell. Immediately. That's not something that should be kept a secret. The only transgendered person I ever knew (best dang hairdresser in Minneapolis, by the way) was very upfront about her operation, and all it entailed.

just be yourself hon it's not all about clothes. After i chose to undergo gender reassignment i had to do the same with some of the people i have to work with, although there's no easy way to tell people, i thought their gonna find out at some point and Rather it be embarrassing it's best to tell them now it was fine and still is infact things are no different to how they always were. If they have a problem with anything, well that's their look out at least your being true to yourself, and that's what i all boils down to at the end of the day. GOOD LUCK :-)

A sisteen year old is thinking about the opposite sex all the time because her "hermones" are kicking in big time at that age!  It's going to be that way for awhile, but as she developes and becomes more mature she will settle down.  For most studies are difficult because they are so distracted by the changes going on in their bodies.  The teens are a very confusing time, so be there for her, answer her questions, and "instill good moral values" in her, and a creeer will follow one day.  Don't put a lot of pressure on her as growing up and pier pressue is enough stress to deal with.  Plus the more you push can often make the person pull away and you aleniate yourself so much that they won't listen to "anything" you say.  Instead they will rebel and that can mean "trouble",... for both of you.\n\nDon't you remember being sixteen?  We do tend to forget sometimes!\n\nGive her time and LOTS OF LOVE! \n\nPersonally I pray for guidance, because I know the Lord will answer my prayers.  He always does.
