Transgender=a symptom of mental illness?

don't let her get to you, she doesn't understand. i've answered a question of yours before when you asked if it was a mistake to come out to your parents, and i posted about a person who you could talk to about your issues, her name is Kim Pearson. i really highly suggest you talk to her about everything that's going on. you can find her on facebook and message her. i know you don't know her, but she is a very good person to talk to about this. you can search Kim Pearson TYFA on google or look up TransYouth Family Allies. PLEASE just try to contact her, she is very strong-willed and completely dedicated to her profession, and she will help you with family issue, personal issues, and she can even help you figure out if you really are trans or not (if you really believe your ignorant mother) Kim has been to conferences all over the country several times, done several interviews, and she REALLY knows what she's doing.
