That took GUTS girl! so proud of you. i want to take a moment to say I have looked up to you in my own transition. my own situation is not much diffrent from yours, I can understand the pain. I have to keep my parents in the dark because it's a huge religous paux pas to them. i've had to face that beast head on before. I cant do it again. I have few friends, but i do have a loving wife who is not happy about this but is suportive anyway. best wishes to you my friend.

This is what I'm dreading, hence I haven't told my family yet (I need to prepare myself for the worst). But you are right, my friends whom I've told about me, they are all supportive and I'm glad to have them around.

Hi Kylee, I went through a similar family thing when I transitioned in 1976. But it takes time and don't give up on them. You are right that you don't need them to live your life. Take what you need from those who will accept you. Leave the others to sort themselves out. Twenty five years later, I reconnected with my bros and sisters. We have family gatherings every year and I am included. I love family now. Give it time, focus on the positive, live your life as best you can, it does get better.

Sad but true. I spent years learning this lesson. Finally I got it. And my friends responded the way I had hoped my family would have. Hard to comprehend but quite true. And once a person can get past that aspect it is so much better. I live for myself, not to be a prop for someone else's life.

Jodie is right. Many years of my life I lived thousands of miles from my family. I served in armed forces and lived on the west coast chasing a career. After my divorce I moved back to the east coast nearer to family. My sons grew up and are gone. I don't see much of my family anymore. Now they will keep their distance for another reason. I am used to being alone. Actually, my best friends now are my transwoman friends here. Kaylee, I feel your pain but I have been through this before. Love to U

I feel you. Our real family is those who care for us. I've always felt that my friends were my family. I am fortunate enough to have a sister and some cousins which are supportive, so I'm out to them, but I didn't give any news to the rest and they don't ever bother to ask how I'm doing or include me in family events, for months at a time. They're like that even though I put years of effort. So next time, they'll see me with a beard, it'll be a slap in the face, and it'll be too bad for them.

This video makes me sad. I wish that you had a more supporting family, a person as lovely as you should always get the support you need, and a family should be more understanding of your situation. I wish I could give you a big hug and let you know how much I appreciate your videos and the beautiful person that you are.

I wish you the best of luck, and urge you to reach out to your community and friends during your time of need. We'll look after you and so will your friends.

Thank you for this video. You are suave & honest. As we do not know anything about this life besides our exp & others expression of their exp. I would like to say as transgendered people born on this side of the planet is a HUGE test of our will. Having the ability to reach nirvana we face the psychological war from the majority. We are people born with a gift rather than a curse, no we are not born in the wrong body we are here for a different soul journey, for ourself & the world. LiveLove

It sucks that they don't at least TRY to get onboard with what has happened in your life. It is so tiring, waiting for loved ones..being nice..yet no positive response. I'm fortunate that my mom and most of my siblings are onboard, but my children want nothing to do with me anymore. That hurt the most. It's been 19 months since coming out to them, they have drawn that proverbial line in the sand..not me. I will continue to love them, but I've moved on. Time hopefully will be our friend.

I'm glad that you realized that your family was hurting you and pulling you down. I hope they end up coming around and start treating you right. No one deserves to be treated like shit solely for their gender expression/identity. I have fantastic friends too that worry about me and tend to be more of a family to me and understand me much better than my family does. Unfortunately I have no choice but to live under their roof so I just have to deal with it for now. Best of luck! -Jason

I think I may move should I go through with this... to cali or to Canada, I'm not sure, but with each day I take low dosage, I crave to start my brand new life. If I can just finish these last few classes of college, pay back my folks, find a job within the 6 months of having begun my transition, I think I can manage.

Hi Kylee, you may not be important to your family, but you're ever so important to me! Without you and some of the other trans girls I met on KZitem I never would've had the courage to transition! I've been living as myself now for more than 7 months, and I've been on CHT for going on 2.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear your family is not accepting who you truly are!! Why are family members always the toughest? Why do they think we have to "convince" them of our intentions?? So not fair! :-( I am lucky, my mum is very supportive of me!! I really hope you have a great network of friends who support you no matter what?? That does help me through many heartaches.

Protecting the "good family name" and excluding the perceived "black sheep" (for fear of embarrassing the rest of the family) is probably the reason why many family members find it harder to accept transition than friends. They need to remember what is the true meaning of "family" which is more about loving and caring for one another especially in times of need. People judge the worth of a family on how they treat one another as this often reflects how well they treat people in general.
