After some time, I have come back, and I probably struggling with my dysphoria more than ever. I started at a new school this year, and it is awesome, except for one thing; I have to wear a skirt everyday in the summer months. This won't be a problem for the next six months because I can wear pants during terms 2 and 3, but the past term hasn't been great. I haven't been able to come out to anyone, and it really sucks only being seen as a girl. I don't think I'll be able to come out to anyone for the next few years, and as far as my parents go, I feel like even if I finally do come out to them, I will never be truly accepted by them. Mum is transphobic, and honestly, quite gatekeepy of the community. I also think that my chest is getting bigger, which I really hate. Thank god winter is coming so I can wear big jumpers, but the dysphoria my chest gives me is almost unbearable. Sorry for the word vomit, but I really need help. Can you please comment with some advice, or if you don't have any, just words of encouragement? I really need it. ... View more

(yes, I'm a complete nerd :D) ... View more
