Dear Boo is an advice journal for anyone who needs someone to talk to. I listen and give my advice about any topic possible. So, things such as rape, eating disorders, psychological disorders, self-harm, suicide attempts, abuse, and much more, will...
I'm scared that if I'm gender fluid and not transgender FTM, I won't be taken as seriously as before at home. Yet again, no one is taking me that seriously anyhow. My mom's boyfriend and my uncle keep joking about it and it hurts me a lot and makes me feel invalid. My mom is ok with it, she's getting used to it, my aunt is in denial.
I need to know the definitions of gender fluid and transgender FTM. I was on LGBT Amino and 75% out Of 25% of people thought I was cis female and faking it. I got off track because of my add or ADHD so I mentioned stuff that had nothing to do with dysphoria, like sending nudes. I know I want a flat chest 100%, I imagine myself as a male and I can grow facial hair and shave it off when I feel like a girl.
I don't care if I have a boy part or girl part down there I just don't want to go through female puberty anymore, it scares the hell out of me. No one at home is taking me seriously enough. My Uncle won't let me do anything but bind my chest.

Dear Silverstream*,
Hi, thanks for writing to me about this issue. Let me begin by saying, I don't know everything when it comes to this, but I'm going to try my best!
For those who are unaware, gender fluid is defined as denoting or relating to a person who doesn't identify themselves as having a fixed gender. Basically, some days they may feel like a girl, some days they may feel like a boy, and even days where they feel like neither.
There are many people who identify as GF, it's something you should embrace. Even some celebs are GF! Miley Cyrus and Ruby Rose (😍) are both GF. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are raising their baby as GF.
No matter who you want to be, you deserve respect and support for yourself, and any relationship you get into. No one should tell you who you're supposed to be.
Cis means you identify the same as your sex assigned at birth. So, some days you may be cis, some days you may be trans, and some days you can just be neither. No matter what, always be YOU! Cisgender does not indicate biology, gender expression, or sexual orientation.
There is also non-binary, also known as genderqueer, is a catch-all category for gender identities that aren't exclusively masculine or feminine. Non-binary people may express a combo of masculinity and feminism, or neither, in their gender expression.
Transgender is for people whose gender identity differs from the sex they're assigned at birth. It's all about feelings!
Bigender refers to people who identify as two genders. They may also identify as multigender, meaning they identify as two or more genders.
What others think isn't important. What matters is how YOU feel! Many people who don't take you seriously don't understand what you're going through.
The main thing is what you think and feel about yourself. There are no rules that say you must feel this way or that way. Always stay true to yourself. Always love yourself! Try not to seek validation from others. Especially ones that don't support you.
Love Always, Boo
