I'm a mid-20s student who identifies as transgender and I am in school and my parents are very unsupportive of me thinking I am delusional, thinking too much. I am still "financially-dependent" because of my current student stipend status. This has greatly influenced me and I have been quite fed up with having to cope with my current birth gender that it is nearly ripping me apart that I'm at a point in my life where I feel I'm watching someone else live my life, while I'm not being truly authentic as to who I really am. I don't wish to mean my parents any harm, or wish to be disowned, sever ties with my parents, create interfamily conflicts. I tried to educate my parents with informative resources, but they keep on giving me resources like Paul McHugh, sexchangeregret.com, etc.
I posted here on this forum to seek advice from more actual "grown-ups" with real-world experience in the workforce and life in general.
Any advice, thoughts, and input will be truly and highly appreciated. Thank you.
