[Guest HidingAndrew]

Very nice to meet everyone, I am out to my parents, but my father disowned me (for other reasons) so I have no connection to him, and as far as my mother goes, she believes this is a sin, she's accepted me as a lesbian, but i fear, it won't go much further

[pennyjane]

well, andrew, i guess the good news is.....you aren't a lesbian. as far a being a man....well....mostly a pretty uncouth lot generally, i'd have to agree, but i'm not at all sure it's a sin. lotsa love and hope, pj

My mum still hasn't fully accepted it. my dad well he wont teven try and my sister is bullying me more than she ever used to i've always been bullied by her but now it's got worse...but anyways....I never understand why people say it's a sin and all that....PM if you wanna chat. hope you ok dude.

[Guest Matt Massacre]

Hey erm im 16 from uk and i was wondering if anyone knows the leagal age to start hormones in the UK please could you let me know cheers

[Flint]

Firlsy cool name I dont know about hormones on age thing....I'm 17 still not on hormones but thats cause i only rally told professinalls in the last few months. so ...i can't really give any advice on that but just wanted to say kool name

Matt

[pennyjane]

hi matt massacre, how nice to meet you. we do seem to have colleced quite a few matts and such here in the playground. not so sure i'm on the same page with matty-on-wheels about how cool is massacre though. a little disconcerting on it's face. but then.....i'm old, so take it for what it's worth.

anyway, to your question. i don't know much about the laws over in uk, so i'll assume common sense applies. <yup, definately old> there probably is no age to which introducing hormones would be illegal considering medical necessity, i think you must be inquiring as to the age of consent. that is at what point could you get this treatment without parental consent. that probably coincides with the offical age of adulthood. arbitrary w/common sense...... i'm getting in over my head here.

so, welcome to the playground young man, hope you enjoy yourself here and pick up more good information then what i just had to offer. lotsa love and hope, pj

[Guest HidingAndrew]

Ok, I have a question, in Illinois, (the state I live in) I heard that at 17, you can make your own medical decisions... Would that include testosterone? I may have just heard wrong, but if I didn't... *Punders wonderfully*

[Guest James79]

Hey all i'm James 28 for Australia. Just wanting to meet some people on the same page, I'm not out to my Parents just my sisters and my girlfriend. I'm really lost having trouble finding myself would b great to get to know some of u

[pennyjane]

hello, james, how very nice to meet you. i'd like to extend a warm welcome to you to our playground. you are not alone here, we all know the illusion the mirrow presents of us. it is an illusion you know, that preception of the mirror. it only sees the topside, not the depth. it can only show what you look like, not what you are. thank you for sharing with us and we will try to share with you. lotsa love and hope, pj
