Hmm I don't know where to begin so I will start off with hi my name is ellen or Ron as some call me
I am what y'all would call ftm. As the years go on I have been noticing it. And now I can't avoid it. But all I hAve done is realise that I am a male and not a female as I was born. I mean I get so happy when I cross dress, get addressed as male, or get treated as a bro from the other guys. Thatv is when I am happy. I can easily accept it. I accept myself. Its the other people, in truth I could care less. But where I am no one really knows what trans is or really met one they know of. People have a hard time acceptingIt.
1 a long time ago I came out as lesbian and they just don't understand the difference. What I hAve heard quite often is them thinking that all lesbians want to become a male and have a penis. That is very untrue . Also not the case with me I am a guy just don't have the parts I guess as you would say. Plus on top on that I look like a female I mean my boobs are huge and my face is rounded and kinda feminine like a reason why they don't see it. They know how I act is different though. By my friends once they told me " Ellen your a bro just like us just the pretty guy here"
2. My family . One or two get it but not like I hAve told them hey I am a male its what I feel. I haven't My parents? They get upset. Since I am young I still live with them. My mom cries when she catches my cross dressing, looking like a guy in any way or "acting" like one. It's hard because I feel I hAve to hide. But I hAve to suck it up til I get out that I know. Pproblem with my parents is that they are very religious so saying I am a male is like say ing that whole system that god set up is flawed. So I am to them not really right for believing I am a Guy
I can't avoid it or I will freak out it's weird but I do. I I to be a female or dress in skirts and dresses I will flip. It feels that I have to cross dress be myself for a little while.
I have lost girls over this. It's whatever now they were't worth my time if they can't accept me. One ex used to yell at me all the time for dressing like a guy. I told her all about transgender. She could't grasp it and would continue to lecture me on how I am female.
But I earned the name Ron for when I crossed dressed out and about. My friends gave me that name. I have only found 2 females that I have some sort of relationship with and accept me Ron and realize Ron is who I am.
I have decided in my future that I won't do T but that can change and just be me and change my pronoun and name and be much of a male as I can
Yeah I think that might end my rant. Maybe. Sometimes I don't know whAt do to.
Yeah I am Ron and haven't been on this site in awhile

One of the hardest part about transitioning, is dealing with family members, especially the ones who uses relgion. I'm asuming that you still live with your parents. Besides here at DS, I think It would be a good idea, to do some online research, and see if there is a GLBT support group in your home town community, where you can go out doors in person, to be your trueself.
Before you even talk to your family about this or anyone close to you, you need to be assessed by a certified gender therapist. There is no way around, this way you'll have something to tell your family from a professional.
You do not have to do SRS but it'll confirm that you are indeed FTM, if that makes sense.
Rhonda suggested you look into a transgender support group near by, that's a great idea, this way you'll be able to speak about your issues in a safe environment.

Just as wolf and Rhonda have said I couldn't of said it better.
After going through all the tests they put you through, you will have the information to help you along this path. You will feel like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders, and you will start the process of feeling more comfortable, and be able to make the best decisions for yourself and well being.
For me, it made the puzzle fit together, and everything was so much clearer. It validated how I was inside, how I always knew I was...it was an answer, granted it was a different time back then however, I believe internally it is not much different
best of luck to you, and those of us who have been there, we understand more than you realize right now
