Hello, I would like some advice for coming out as a transfem in a republican town. I am mainly doing this because the gender dysphoria is becoming too much and I know that there's people like me who I could meet if I put myself out there more. I am training in self-defense so I should be fine in a couple of months if I ever get jumped.

Hello

#

theres alot of trans ppl

#

r u like in the hood or smt?

#

cause u wont rlly get jumped

lucid sierra
#

not in my town, it's really transphobic, at least the high school I am going to. Queer people are known for being jumped where I live

A knife, but just like hormones, my mom doesn't want me to have one for vague reasons

wooden wind
#

yeah,

#

the thing is, that like if ur dating or smt. U'll prob be protected

#

or stay introvert

#

and if you get jumped remember running is the best option

lucid sierra
#

Yeah, it's always the best option. I just hope I can find some people like me where I live, there isn't an lgbt support group at my high school
