    Sorry if my english is not perfect, I was looking for a spanish lgbt forum but I found nothing and google brought me here, so I will apreciate any suggestion of spanish lgbt comunities.

    I'm 15 years old, living like a girl even when I don't feel like one. I really can't come out... (I told my mom and she was like: ok, you are a trans boy that's fine, so what do you want for dinner my little girl?)

    I don't know how to deal with this.

    It's such a strong feeling.

    I can understand your post clearly, don't worry about your English.

    I presume that you live with your parents therefore you are bound to their rules for now. I don't know what to take from your mom's reply. It seems that she shrugged your remark off, but on the other hand, she did not blatantly reject it.

    When you said that you don't know how to deal with this, what do you mean by this?
    Your gender dysphoria or the feeling that you can't come out?

    Welcome to EC, Daniel! My name's Alex. I hope you like it here even if it's not a spanish forum. Don't worry your english is great, honestly if you didn't say that english is your second language i probably wouldn't have even noticed! I'm tentatively identifying as transmasculine right now, and i'm not able to be out at all so i kind of feel where your coming from. Maybe you can talk to your mom again? It sounds like, without knowing your mom, that she just brushed it off. If you don't want to do that, perhaps there are things you can do to feel more like a guy in the meantime. That's what i'm doing. Which were you wanting help with - coming out to your mom, or easing dysphoria? Or both?

    Hi and welcome to EC! Don't worry there are actually quite a few spanish speakers on the forum, if you post looking for them I'm sure you'll find a lot of people. As for the issues you face those are universal, and I'm sure you'll find plenty of help and advice here. :relaxed:

    Hey there Daniel, welcome to EC! :slight_smile: To me it sounds like your mom was either ignoring you or is deep in denial. I had to deal with something similar and holy cow it was annoying. I solved this by bringing the topic up again and again. And luckily things changed.

    Well hopefully your mother will change her attitude too. Good luck dude, if you need to talk just pm me :slight_smile:
