yes they are the reason but im scared of them .. they are racist and homophobic and I have no where to go and they treat me good but thats only because they don't know I am truly... I mean don't get me wrong they are good people just they are homophobic so yeah and I did write a letter one time explaining how I wish to transition and my mom found it and starting making fun of me then I quickly said it was a late April fools and u was supposed to get it the 1st but yeah and I told my birth my how I feel and me being gay/ wanting to be trans and she said she accepts me but only thing is thats the 1st time I have ever talked to my birth mom and truthfully only reason why I told here is so I wouldn't be alone

Mind if I ask how old you are? Is there any chance they'd let you see a therapist to help sort out your thoughts? Do you have a safe "space". It sounds silly, but it helped me to create an online identity that was my gender. That way I'd be anonymous from my family and whatnot.

When I came out, the majority of my family told me I'll be going to hell and refused to respect my pronouns and name. I had two thoughts. #1, If they don't accept me for who I am, then they aren't the kind of family I want. #2, This is my life, and life is way too short and unpredictable to be denying who I am. It's simply not worth it. Is your family the only reason you are conflicted on it?
