Question Posted Wednesday October 11 2006, 8:37 pm
I've been questioning my gender identity(whether i am male or female)(i'm physically male, 15) I'm wondering how to tell my parents, if i decide I want a sex change.
I would take some time and think about it..a lot of guys your age feel the same way...but later change their mind...the operation is very, very expensive...and they put you through all kinds of hoops....and the operation may not be right for you...
Hey, I better understand now...and have a new answer..
I would suggest getting your parents and your self to meet with a counselor, to talk about your feelings..the counselor, can help all of you to better understand each other...if that is not something that could happen...the best thing to do is to sit down with the parent that you are closest too, and tell them what your feelings are,
and then talk to your other parent together...most parents know in their heart, when they have a child that has certain feelings...just ask them to be understanding with you, and do the same for them...Good Luck [ grannysays's advice column | Ask grannysays A Question ]

Let them know you have given it lots of thought and a sex change may be possible in the future. [ goTango's advice column | Ask goTango A Question ]
