Death Is Better Than The Wrong Body Some transgenders but not all trans will go though depression, maybe self harm and suicidal thoughts. I'm one of those trans that go though depression, I self harm and think of killing myself cos I'm not in my body and I can't live like this for any longer. Even tho I want to die, I always think to myself one day I will become the person I was suppose to be even if it will takes years but when it's all over with life might be better. There are times where death is better than living to see my real self but I stop the suicidal thoughts by self harming. I know this isn't the answer but it's my answer. I

Packing For The First Time When you start packing at first you need to pick your packer and what size, I got my packer from the pure gender website and I got a small packer because I've learned bigger isn't always better. I got a harness with my packer because I read somewhere that your packer might fall out of place and onto the floor which will be really embarrassing while in public. When my packer arrived for the first couple of weeks I didn't put it on but then I felt ready to try it on.

Binding For The First Time I just got my first binder today and I couldn't wait to get it on. It was hard to put it on but my mum helped me. My binder is different than I thought it would be, it had hooks on the side, they looked like bra hooks but there were 8 hooks and 3 lines. My mum hooked the first one which won't be that tight, she did this so I would get use to wearing it. I didn't expect it to be more conformable than a bra. After putting it on I realized how hard it was to breath in it and after about two maybe 3 hours when I breath it hurt. I know what to do while wearing it like, don't wear it for more than 8 hours and while wear

Real Name Vs Fake Name You have two names your real one and your birth name. Birth Name: You have been called this name all your life but you hate it, you hate being called it and hate hearing it. People know you by this name and when you tell them you want them to call you by your real name they will accidentally call you by your birth name, that will happen. Real Name: Your family and friends are still trying to call you by this name but they call you by your birth name but most of the time they call you by your real name. You are more happy hearing people call you by this name and all you had to do was tell them and they did what made

You Will Get There The wait is long And you feel like your going no where You told people But they don't seem to be much help You sit there doing nothing You wish you were the opposite gender You learn about transgenders You go to LGBT groups It feels like you will never be yourself But you will get there It will take years but hang in there.

Be You If you know you are in the wrong body don't hide it, if you hide the real you then you will be stuck as fake you and you know you would hate that. Tell your family, teacher or friends, you don't even have to tell that many people but at least tell someone you trust. They might not understand but they will support you and they will help you so don't be scared. You don't have to go to school/college/work as the real you if you are scared of others rejecting you but you can always go out in public and in your house as the real you cos some people in the public won't even notice and you are safe in your house. Don't be scared to be you
