Hey!
I'm not really sure what to do right now, seems theres no easy option. I'm MTF but I've only ever told a couple of friends and no family. I know that I'd prefer to be a girl, and I do get dysphoria but I can cope as a guy, for now at least.
I'm not sure what to do really, ideally I'd transition but in the face of opposition and lack of understanding from my family and friends I'm too scared to be honest. I'm concerned that it may be harder and more painful to transition than staying as a male.
So, should I keep up a lie that I hate but can cope with or do I take the risk and accept the consequences?
Thanks

Well I know it's super hard but if your friends don't support you, I don't think it would be absolute best thing ever to continue being around them. I obviously don't know you but when you are ready and feel safer you should transition. There are transgendered people who don't transition so don't feel required to. I hope this kind of helped... Good luck  |

Transitioning is never easy, but the rewards are worth it.

it's better to please the most important person in your life, and that's you.
transitioning is a long process, and may not always be easy! but it's so so worthwhile. you deserve to be who you were truly mean to be, and if your friends can't support that, they're not really your friends!
you deserve to be happy with your existence; never forget that. uvu

Thanks for the advice
Now's not the time to transition I don't think. But you're right, I shouldn't be put off from what I want to be by other people. I'm still scared about going through with it but who wouldn't be I guess?
I know that some of my friends are cool with it, I know a couple in particular would go out of their way to support me. But there are a few in particular that might be a problem, not much I can do though.
Family will also be interesting, but it should be fine,

Your best bet is to cut out any friend that refuses to respect you as a human being.
