Trans tips pls

Hi, I'm a trans girl who hasn't come out to my family yet or anything (and I'm not planning on it for a while), can anyone give me some MtF tips for secretly being trans?

    I feel like there's lots of FtM tips out there (particularly about binders) but I don't think there's as many for MtF really

    Hi @Willow this is a great point! Whilst I'm not sure of any resources specifically for MtF support, I have included a link here to Mermaids (https://shoutlink.info/Mermaids). This isn't specifically for MtF support but if you click on Children and Young People, there are links for a Web Chat, an online community for trans young people, and an online advocacy programme that could hopefully be able to give you some answers you're looking for. I'm not sure if you've heard of them before but I really do hope it helps!

    Just looked through Mermaids and tbh it's really hard to navigate (might be because I'm stupid) but also because you need to call someone to become an online member and I can't because my parents would hear which is annoying 😭

    There also aren't many tips on there either really

    Hey @Willow that's a great question.

    I had a look and 7 Cups has a chatroom and community space specifically for the trans community. You might want to check it out, it's free to join.

    They also have a Q&A section which may be helpful.

    Chatroom - https://www.7cups.com/transgendered-chat-room/

    Sign up page - https://www.7cups.com/welcome/

    Let us know how you get on!

    Just checked it out (sorry for the wait) but it's not too bad, they have listeners on there which is pretty good and I would recommend it, thanks for sharing it 😁
