Description
"... It's time to go to my parents house - my family who thinks they know all about me, their son. They don't. I don't tell them everything. I wish I could, but doing so would cause drama and so many issues that I can't possibly handle in my life right now. They don't know of my transformation: Male to Female transsexual. I have been taking pills for a long time and I now have grown well developed breasts. I can't put bras on when I see them. They would notice the strap lines as well as the roundness of my chest. I would wear a thick sweater, but its no where near winter yet and they would still show. I don't regret my new growth or the years I spent taking the pills to transform into what I want to be, so the only option I have is to bind my chest as tightly as I can with medical bandages, sometimes with a combination of duct tape I have to buy a bulk of rolls because they are one use only. It's like wearing a corset that makes your chest as flat as possible. On top of wearing this stupid bandage, I have to wear boy clothes, down to the underwear. This makes me even more uncomfortable.Its hard to breathe with this bandage on and I can't flex my torso as much as I want to. In the end, I get burns and bruises from the tightness of the bandage. Sometimes my damage my ribs. I sometimes lock myself in the bathroom when seeing my parents and remove the construction from my chest. I only manage to get a good few breathes of air before I have to put it on again and walk out - continuing to act like a male instead of the female I want to be.
There will be a time when I can no longer hide it, but since my parents are so ego driven and thick skulled, I can't tell them anything. For now, I will be the "son" they love instead of the "daughter" I wish to be... "

that's so sad, I just came back from a Pride Youth March, and saw so many familys, with their kids and I just wished every family could be like that, so supportive and loving of their child no matter sexual orientation or gender...

Wow this speaks mounds of truth and words. By the way nice work. I love the colors and your story to go along. It's touching.... And a bit sad... But when you aren't in the normal of society it's kind of hard to tell people about you not being so called "normal"... Normal is over rated and doesn't exist.

well to say onto that, its sometimes best to conceal the truth then it is to let it out, letting it all burst out can cause an uproar, even though seeing this case myself many times over gender bending isnt for the faint hearted, just hoped you know what your doing, although at most cases like a vanishing act its best to disappear and appear again in the world if you just where a new person

She looks so depressed...not that it's surprising. I knew some transsexual people whoose main obstacle were parents. Ego driven parents that even banished their offspring from the homes. How many have committed suicide because of this?

I have an odd sexuality with closed-minded parents myself, but it's not nearly as hard to hide as this - I'm just attracted to those of my own gender, something my mother considers perverted.
Sexual oddballs unite.

I have a very similar problem to this. I want to be a female, but I know my parents would never accept it. I probably would just go ahead and have the change without telling them and either try to hide it or just let them find out and tell them to deal with it. Only, I don't know how or where I could get the change. And with my age, I doubt I could do it by myself anyway.

*reads* ...Very well done, I like the story and kinda wish there was a comic to go with this. Great job :3

Its scary to tell the family. but Love can be powerful and can out way what they think. its hard to lose family but even harder to hide from them.

I've read that over time binding can deform the breasts.

I have heard, apparantly, that rubbing anti-chafing gel or stuff used to relieve muscle pain makes them go limp and soft, so it doesn't hurt as much to bandage them.
That or you could squeeze them less tightly and say you've had a few macdonalds too many and the big macs caused them to begin showing.
That is, if you haven't told them of what really is going on. Stuff like this interests me, it puts my mind at ease knowing about transgender and alternative lifestyles when you're stuck in a small-minded community such as mine.

I love this. I've only admitted this to one other person, but deep down, I have this feeling that I'm actually a female trapped in a male's body, I could only imagine the issues it would cause if I said something, so I can semi-relate to this.
Great work, and great picture!

Solution: "Mom, Dad, this is who I am, if you have a problem with it, you can go fuck yourselves."

Boy that sucks. Though there's no recourse for what [s]he did, the longer [s]he hides it, the more pain and anxiety [s]he is going to experience, because long-term deception takes a LOT of work, and will wear h[er]im out. Working up the courage to face the implications of decisions like this is a hell of a lot easier said than done, but eventually they will find out and it's better to get it over with and tell them than to be caught in h[er]is own lie.

It's another mind twisting piece you've done... Alex. But it's one of those that makes you see the other perspective....

I'm all for girls dressing up as guys, wanting to look like a guy sometimes, but as long as they turn back into a girl and feel comfortable with themselves by the end of the day. Eeehhh, Guys turning into girls and girls turning into guys is a bit... Well have fun with that!

I feel sad, I wish he/she could tell their parents about what he wants its not fair to force yourself to conform to what others want you to be, I agree with being free to choose who you are and what you want to be

It would have been easier just to wait until after one moves away from their parents, Teenage years suck, but afterwards it gets better, If parents are really that rude, leave, it's as simple as that. After you leave home you really never need to see them again. Part of all inner torture is done by the victim itself.

I just can't fathom what would drive someone to willingly put themselves through such torture. All that effort to change his body only to practically destroy it by binding it up is just ridiculously stupid, as far as I am concerned. No one should ever have to do that. If the parents can't deal with their son's life choice then f$@# them.

This is sometimes life. We are judged for who we are and who we wish to become. This piece goes along quite well with Perfect by Ellen Hopkins, sequel to her book, Impulse. Impulse starts talking about the push one boy's parents give him to be perfect, and Perfect continues alongside when Impulse is happening and it shows deep emotion in how pressure, not even just from parents, can hurt us.

This would also work as a female-to-male image.
Don't listen to people hating on your pictures with topics of sexuality, they're hating on mine too. Must be haters day.

Dude, lay off. No one puts their art on this site so people like you can dance along and bash them. You could at least show some common decency.
