I've already came out to my family as a lesbian about a year and a half ago.... and that was one of the harder things ive had to do.... but this is different, i want to be male instead of female.... and i just dont know how to explain to my family about it.... i dont want them to look at me any differently....or should i say down on it... its in my opinion a bigger ordeal than being a lesbian, because nothing really changes between my family and i, but changing ftm would be hard for them, and i just need advice on how to tell them.....
