Reply To: How Do You Know if You Are Trans?
Hello River,
Talking to a counselor that specializes in LGBT issues would help you sort out your mind. By what you have written, you sound like you might be nonbinary. But a counselor can help you sort that all out. It’s for YOU to decide. It’s not for any of us to say. Sometimes low doses of hormones help balance emotions but ALWAYS under a doctors care. Cross sex hormones are very strong medications and should not be taken lightly. They effect mental and physical wellness and carry life long consequences. As a community, it’s our responsibility to point out the good and bad; then allow you to come to your own decision.
Also there are consequences for every action we take. In other words there is a price for everything. My price was employment discrimination, housing discrimination and idiot health care providers. It also majorly stressed my relationship with my family, I’ve had 30 years to move past those points as a TS that was able to blend into society. As a nonbinary you my not. Only you can answer for yourself if it’s the right call. Mine was for me. October 8th the Supreme Court hears LGBT issues vs Title VII to determine if Title VII actually does include us. If this case goes against us it will be a MAJOR, like 20 year, step backwards.
So ask yourself, what are you willing to trade to “live as yourself”?
