hey I'm transgender FTM and I'm pre everything because I can't afford it on my own and I'm not supported by my family... I have been feeling really body conscious lately because people I don't even know call me a girl because of my chest I can't afford anything so I can't even get a binder I've been feeling really depressed and don't know what to do I've been in and out of residential placements and acute suicidal stays due to this I just don't know how to cope with the fact that my body isn't right and I've been feeling really down

I know how you feel. I'm physically born female, and I've felt like I was meant to be male since I was a little kid. Everyone always called me a tomboy and said it was ridiculous to wish I was a boy. I just recently began reading about transgender..I never knew anything about it I always just thought I was a awkward weirdo freak and tried to live with it. I'm in section 8 housing. On SSI no job, I have various mental illnesses​, including PTSD because my ex was very violent and abusive, he's in jail for beating me while I was pregnant with our son and he's facing 8 years, my son is seven months old today and we live together alone so I'm a single parent.im also a member of the apolstolic Christian Church and it's considered an abomination to be trans so I haven't even tried to come out, actually you are the first person I've ever expressed these feelings to. So technically I'm a stay at home single mom with mental health issues and I feel I'm male.ive always felt male. I know coming out would destroy my life.so should I just live with it? To make things worse I am a size 46G bra, and they are so huge and floppy I can't go without a bra let alone find one that fits I hate this body I wanna chop my breasts off I can't afford surgery, Medicaid probably definitely don't pay for that..I guess this isn't really helpful advice.i just wanted you to know your not alone. I struggle with this every day, it makes me not wanna leave the house. You know I would be happy just having my breasts removed and taking testosterone..But I can't even afford that..I hate this..Your not alone.also I've struggled with suicidal feelings for a long time.if u ever need to talk I'm here

Hey man. Different background but we're on the same boat. I have found a really good binder on a website called aliexpress. It cost me 3 dollars and does an amazing job, I have no trouble breathing and can work with no problems whatsoever (I work a job where I'm always moving). Parks often have gym tools you can use for free, so you can start shaping your body the way you want. I'm going to use them to make my shoulders and arms bigger, for example. Stay strong dude.

I hated my body for thirty five years before my disgust brought me to the brink. I have two kids and a wife and I work at Wal-Mart making minimum wage. Still it's either get busy living, our get busy dying. And the truth is it's fun getting dirty looks . I went to a gp and signed an informed consent. I have no health insurance so I self pay. Usually this is cheaper. You guys can do it. Be your true beautiful self, why not. If your scared of losing someone they don't deserve you. You are who you say you are. That is your choice! Smile!!!! Your new life can start today!!!!
