Wait until you can feel compfortable taking action in either direction you mention.

Get 'em by mail. Nobody will know

find friends that will accept you regardless of what you are into. Depending on how old you are you can probably find somebody who feels the same way.

make sure no one else can access your answer bag account for starters.I have never been in that position myself but I suppose you could either use the make up of any females you live with or buy the stuff and pretend that you are buying it for a girlfriend or something?

Yeah right we all know what your too,your just wanting to hang around all the women,without causing jealousy amongst their boy friends,and as soon as they start quarrellings,they will remember how sweet you are,and what their boy friends said about you and presto they try to straighten you out.Yeah and meanwhile your learning all about them and hearing all the women gossip.Your not fooling me at all.

heres an idea: buy the stuff online and get it in the mail, perfect solution. as far as being too embarassed to tell anyone you'll eventually have to so you should prepare yourself just in case, its better to just tell people rather then lie. i'd much rather have a person hate me for being gay then pretend to ignore my brightly colored outfits because im "trying to get attention".

Buy them online.

im only 13 and im an only child and i've never had a real girlfriend

I would advise that you wait untill you have grown awhile longer. You are still growing and changing, You are still forming your mind. When you are 18 and an adult you can do what you want and you may feel either more comfortable or you will change your feelings, in which case you would already be in a situation you are not comfortable with.. Good Luck young man....

At 13, you are young enough to pass as a girl with just a little work in the clothing department. I suggest choosing a store your parents do not normally shop in. Start small, get a pair of girls jeans, and a girls shirt. Nothing too frilly, so the cashier won't notice. Then go back to the store later, wearing those. The difference in the way girl and boy clothes are cut, will have a dramatic effect on how people perceive you. Now you can buy anything you want from the girl's department, and people will think you are a girl. Do avoid the mistake of dressing too frilly, buy clothes similar to what the girls at school wear. Finally, if you think you want to take it further than just clothing. If you want to become a girl as far as science will allow, and just don't have the courage to come out to your family yet. Your school counselor is your best friend. Don't start off telling them what the problem is yet. Tell them, you are having an identity issue, and ask them to keep it secret until you decide you are ready. Once they agree tell them you want to be a girl. Schedule an appointment with them everyday to talk about your feelings, to build up your self esteem and courage. They won't betray your trust, because if they do, no other student will trust them, and they will be out of a job. It is for you to decide when to come out to your family, but don't wait too long. The longer you wait, the more you will miss out on. Of course the final problem, is religion. If you family is religious, they may try to tell you things like, god made you the way you are, and a whole lot of other things to try to make you conform. Do not listen to the rhetoric. Do not challenge their beliefs, that would be too much for them at this time, and they will make life hell for you. Instead feed into them, something like "God tests everyone, and he is testing me by putting me in the wrong body. The body is just flesh, carnal in nature, my soul is what shall live for ever. A female soul. God supports modifying your own body to make your soul at ease. 'If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out.' Matthew 18:9". If they can't see pat their own bigotry even in light of the bible supporting you, you will need to get your councilor involved. If you parents won't listen to your councilor's advice, ask your councilor to help you take it to a higher authority. A judge can order you parents to get you a gender psychologist, and act in your best interests according to the psychologists recommendation. This will likely get you only as far, as being allowed to dress as you choose at home and at school, and a hormone blocker to delay puberty until you turn 18. But, your parents will be able to see you happier in this situation, and likely relent and allow you to start hormones after a year or two.

Wait until you're 18, then move to San Francisco?! ;-)

I am a M to F transgendered person. I've known since the age of 8 that I wanted to be a girl. I have just recently "come out" at the age of 30. If you have a really close female friend, she will probably be more than willing to go shopping with you for those items that you are too afraid to buy on your own. Girls are definitely more open-minded when it comes to trans issues. The first person that I confided in was a close gf of mine. I know it's very difficult at first to get up the courage to tell someone. Also, this is the time of your life when you will find out who your true friends are. If you need someone to talk to, I can probably help you along, or at least I can really try. Taylortgirl_345@yahoo.com
