Okay, there's something I've been dancing around here, and I don't know why. I should just say it: I'm a transgender lesbian. A 16-year-old translesbian currently living as a guy. In Alabama. With Christian parents. Yeah.
So that's partly why I'm so nervous about this. While I want to come out as atheist, more importantly I want to come out as trans, which would probably earn me even more harassment than atheism. I guess I could come out as both. That would at least make my life interesting
.
Really, I'm at a loss as to what I should do. My parents know about the trans part, but one of them flatly thinks I'm wrong and the other, when pressed, repeatedly claims he needs more time to think about it (they've known for something like 8 months). They won't let me get hormones. I'm tired of keeping all these things secret, but I don't know how or when or what I should come out as. And I'm not sure that I'm brave enough to actually go through with it anyway.
Sorry for all that. I know this is the most teenager-y post I've made, and that's something I'd rather avoid. I just really needed to get that out, and maybe get some advice. I really, really don't know what to do.
