I've recently discovered I'm male to female. I'm trying to accept it. I feel much more comfortable as male. I'm slowly telling people my new name and pronouns. I've had a few close people accept me. I had a friend who recently abandoned me because of it. I'm not sure how to do it or what to do to officially start...Socially or what? I'm dreading coming out to my dad. He's not very accepting at all of anything like this. Any help guys? with even accepting it? Luckily i have an outlet for my dysphoria. nice to meet you all and thanks guys. I'm def looking for new friends here.

Your first sentence there is a bit confusing.  Your Gender on your side bio says Female to MALE which makes sense when you say you feel more comfortable as male.

 

My big recommendation if you can pull it off is to find a therapist that knows their stuff about gender issues.  The next step is to find an LGBT center near you (the therapist may be one of theirs for that matter) where you can meet other Trans people and get their hints and tricks for living in your community.  Both can help you with the Parental Units and what to do there if anything for the time being.  Third item is to simply get reading in this forum and see how others have tackled the  problem already, and we have success stories here as well as not-so-success stories.

Hello Matty and welcome.  Vicky's advice mirrors mine.  I think you would find speaking with a counselor very helpful.   Please read as much as you can and join in the conversation.  There is a good group of guys (and girls) here that can relate to your journey.  You're not alone.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      OK Governor Signs School Bathroom Bill Into Law

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?

      As I read this one, it is only for school bathrooms.  I hope he has signed a bill to triple the number of "security monitors" on the campuses and up their pay considerably, not to mention some other costly stuff.  Only way is for every school employee, to know the birth certificate information of each student by memory which will require 3 additional months of salary for them all.  It appears the enforcement relies on parental reports obtained from their children which opens so much up.  The kids will end up ALL with wet or soiled underwear while the parents go at each other with weapons over "family honor" over false calls based on childish name calling.

      I agree. This law is impractical and impossible to evenly enforce without such ridiculous measures in place. What it will do is stigmatize the trans community in Oklahoma and nothing more but ofc, that’s the only point of it.   If I was in that state and needed a restroom, there’s no chance I’d ever step foot in the men’s restroom because of some law. I know I’m not alone in that thinking. This law won’t stand the test of time.

      I asked AI to create an image of myself 30 years younger based off my avatar on another site and this was the result:     Wow! I am amazed how close it got my 30 year old face!

      Quite true.  The amusing thing about opposites is how similar they can be.   My family left Greece because of the conflict between the communists and the militarists/fascists.
