Hi guys u guys can call me junee....I am a biological male and I feel like I am woman inside me and I do dressup in my own privacy.I told my sister about this and she doesn't hurt me or anything but she said this won't happen you are a boy and made sure that I understand what she is saying.Our parents are very conservative and they won't be accepting me.But now I am facing anxiety and depression because when ever I see a women I feel the strong urge to become like one and I can't help it.So anyone here who feels the same way?......and I want to know how to deal with this.

@sympatheticPal3197 I'm so sorry about this, your family should support you as you are, not pressure you to be someone you're not. You identify as a girl, so that's who you are, and you deserve a safe space to express yourself. If your family is not that space, you can look for support from trusted friends, or even reach out to an LGBT center or support group near you. Having a space to express yourself as you truly are will make a great difference. With time, when you'll have the chance to live your identity full time or when you feel safe to do so, you can try coming out to your parents knowing that you've already built a support net around you in the meantime. I wish you the best!

Thanks for your kind words but there is no safe space for me to be myself.I don't think there are any supportive groups nearby and my friends are not that accepting.I don't know what to do I just want to be a woman and want to be treated like a woman😭

@sympatheticPal3197 I'm sorry about this. Do you have any idea how far the closest LGBT center is? Maybe you can't attend every week, but just every now and then. And maybe some of your friends might become more accepting if they understood what this means to you.
But I get that it's not that easy to try and build yourself a safe space. Having queer friends (or at least open-minded friends) would be ideal, but if it's not possible, it could still be useful to try and exchange experiences with other queer people in the online community. Trevor Space, for example is an online community for young queer people.
In the meantime, make sure you give yourself the chance to experience your gender, even if it's just by yourself. Dressing up while no one is at home, or journaling and referring to yourself as a girl, are small things that can still lift your spirits up until you have a wider space to express yourself.

I don't know any LGBT centre here and I wish I had someone to share this and someone to accept me for who I am.I will try journaling definitely.
