Being a Trans Boy

24th December 2017 - Update

Hello reader! It's been a while, sorry.

I'm a little confused tbh. With how my family are feeling about my changes and decisions.

I know my dad hates the idea, thinking it's just a phase. Last week he was planning on getting a professional photographer to take some family photos cause my younger siblings didn't get school photos this year. He said if I wanted to be in it, I had to wear a dress cause dad and my brother are wearing suits and my sister is also wearing a dress. I asked why I couldn't wear a suit and you know what he said?! "I don't want it to look like there's three boys in the family." so I went "fine. Fuck your photos then". So yeah. He doesn't like it.

My granddad is a bit weird about it as well but I guess he's just old fashioned, since he doesn't like anything to do with the LGBTQ+ community.

My Nanna is a bit mixed though. She seems to go along with and she's even agreed to call me her grandchild instead of grandson or granddaughter. She doesn't use my name tho, not unless someone goes "is this your grandson?" and she responds by saying "yes. This is kody." so she's somewhere in between and she does say she's trying.

Mum doesn't seem to try and she got kind of angry when I went through all the Christmas presents and changed my name to Kody on my ones.

My older sister still calls me by my birth name so I ignore her and after a few times calling me, she calls me Kody. And she says things like "you want to be a man right? Then help me lift this, help me do this."

*sighs*

Idk.

Also, I'm worried I'm not going to be able to transition unless I move to a different city cause Geraldton doesn't have a gender reassignment psychologist or therapist so I don't have anyone to talk to other than my councillor.

I have plans to achieve before I turn 20 and at this rate, I'm not going to get to...

Anyway, catch ya later and Happy Holidays.
