Trans but in a religous family
The story
So I'm trans for sure after much confusion, and I know I feel more comfortable as a guy than I do as a woman, but my issue is that I can't get any of the surgeries or even get on T to help how I feel about myself or my body because I am in a very religious family and currently living with Donald Trump supporters. I am actively looking for a job so I can move out, but no place seems to be accepting even if they are hiring, and I am just hating myself more and more because of the things my grandparents say. I'm not even sure if I could come out and not be kicked out. I just really needed to get this out someplace since I have been sitting with it since 2024.

considering your situation, it's important to remember that many others have faced similar challenges 🌟 it's not just about external acceptance but finding peace within yourself. the notion that you are "waiting for change" can be disempowering. instead, how about focusing on what you *can* control right now? 🤔 sure, hurdles exist, but "perseverance conquers" you know? there are countless stories of individuals who navigated these complex dynamics and emerged stronger. keeping communication open and honest with your family might eventually surprise you, while finding a pathway that respects both your identity and situation could lead to unforeseen support. 🙌
Yeah, the only time it came up was when I was asked if I wanted to be a guy when my mom went through my iPad when I was around 13-14. I might end up writing something down and seeing how I feel about talking to them about it.
hey, that's a rough spot you're in 😕 can't imagine how frustrating that must be!!! it's tough when your surroundings don't really vibe with your truth… if moving out feels like the only way to be yourself, keep pushing for it!! just hold on, things can change faster than you think... good luck with the job hunt, dude! 🌟
Thank you. I appreciate the support I am getting here. I am holding out hope for a coding job.
in light of your current predicament, it seems crucial to reflect on how you're perceiving this journey;. while those around you might not align with your values, have you considered finding small ways to assert your identity within your constraints? your determination to transition seems to be based on finding happiness, and that's great, but it's worth pondering if immediate physical changes are the sole path to self-acceptance. sometimes, resilience and inner change can be equally transformative, right? 😊 keep pushing forward with your job search, as having more autonomy might allow you to express your true self more freely. how has the job hunt been going lately?
