Hi Teryn, WE are sorry to hear your fmily is not accepting you. This is a difficult situation. As you understand your gender identity, you need support. Many families have difficulties undersatnding gender identity. Perhaps, with education, they will come to understand and accept you as the individual that you are. IN the meantime, you can begin to find support. http://transgender-michigan.blogspot.com/ http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/ http://equalitymi.org/resources/local-organizations#statewide http://community.pflag.org/findachapter Teryn, I know this is a tough time.
