Was interesting to find out that I am trans last week. I won't get to do shit about it till I move out for university in a year(I will be 19) but I have a supportive group of friends so coming out to them wasn't too bad. Plan is to start DIY and also start with a therapist and eventually move to offical channels.

Welcome :3

Good job figuring it out early! I hope everything goes well.

thanks :3 :3 :3 .Is 18 really early? I have read online that people even tend to think it's too old

I mean, some people figure it out before puberty, but it's faster than me at 40! And there are many people transitioning much later still. Enjoy being young and pretty!

There is still time
