Am I too young to transition, and should I just wait?
Hi, this is my first post on Reddit and I need help finding out some things about myself. I am a (currently) male bisexual 15 year old who wants to transition into being a female but I’m not sure if I’m too young or if I should do it at all, I’ve already spoken to my mum about it and she had mixed opinions so I wasn’t really sure if I was ready yet, I’ve tried contacting hotlines and stuff but I was never able to reach anybody as they were usually always on call.
I’ve thought about buying lipstick or maybe even trying nail polish but i haven’t worked up the courage yet to buy any, even online feels too risky.
I’ve also asked my mum if I could try some of her nail polish while telling her about my situation and she deflected, saying that "I don’t need to be a girl to try nail polish."
The question I’m asking here is if I’m too young to transition, the desire to be a girl has been lingering in the back of my mind for around a year and a half now and if I’m honest has kept me awake most nights thinking about what it would be like to transition.
And as much as I’d like to transition, there are things that are stopping me.
The friends that I have made over the course of my life.
I’m not sure if they would accept me if I transitioned into a girl, not that they’re transphobic, (I hope not) but because it would just feel different. And the people in my school aren’t the best with LGBTQ+ people either, I’m sure like atleast half of my school is somewhat homophobic..
Basically, I’m confused on whether I should transition now or maybe later on in life, maybe when I go to uni or something.. and if anybody has any tips on maybe trying on lipstick or trying on dresses, that would be such a big help!!
Thank you.
