If I think about someone in a sexual way in my head, does that mean I am feeling sexual attraction to them?

Thinking about them makes me aroused, but I am not aroused when I see them. I feel very happy when I talk to them and see them.

I am definitely aromantic. I’m not interested in romantic relationships and don’t understand what romantic attraction is.

I’ve thought that I might be interested in a fwb with people sometimes. I feel like what makes me a little more confused is that I’ve never had sex with anyone before and sex doesn’t seem super important to me.

Also, calling myself ace doesn’t sound correct to me.

I found this website: youarelovedhere.org that was made by Scott Stuart.

On the website, you can write letters of support to trans people or write your own letter. You can also sign up for a weekly letter sent to your email!

I told my Dad I'm trans and he wanted me to explain more. Does my letter explain my feelings good? And is there anything I can add or elaborate on to explain better? I didn't include the beginning because it just says I have something important to talk about and explains what being trans means.

I told my friends near the end of high school that I’m trans, so I have been sure of this for a long time. I know I am trans because I want people to perceive me as a man and I want to look like a man. When people think I am a woman, I feel like I’m lying and pretending to be something I am not.

Being a man makes me feel happy. I know this because I have people in my life who know me as a man. That makes me happy and feel like my own life and future will be more enjoyable.

I feel like there’s no point in anything if I have to be a woman and look like one. I feel hopeless for my future if I’m living as a woman. Calling myself a woman makes me feel uncomfortable. I feel like I don’t look like myself and like there is no purpose in my life if I have to continue looking like a woman.

There are healthcare options for transgender people and I think it would be best for me to pursue this. I have done a lot of research and have decided I would like to start hormone replacement therapy.

I'm hopefully going to make an appointment with Planned Parenthood to start hrt sometime soon.

I'm a college student and am unsure whether I should make an appointment in my home or college city. My home city has a Planned Parenthood Center and my college city doesn't, and I could do virtual appointments there.

I was thinking of making my first appointment in my home city (since it's around summer, so I can be home for it) and I'm hoping I'll talk to my parents about it soon.

Does anyone have any thoughts on where I should make the appointment? I’m not sure which would be best.

I’m so tired of looking like a girl. I wish I did not. I would like to medically transition, but I don’t think I have patience to wait for that since I already feel like nothing.

I’m 21, so I could’ve started hrt years ago (I didn’t earlier because I didn’t know I wanted to and I’m scared of my parents’ reactions). I know I’m not that old, but I feel like I’m running out of time.

I don’t feel like doing anything. I want to give up. I don’t feel like talking about how I’m feeling.

I feel like there’s no point in anything.

I feel hopeless.
