I'm 17, I have a supporting family but still struggles a lor sine I'm the first and unique trans in it.

Some days ago I was in a family dinner, someone made a comment about names, and then I said something like " imagine how weird is my name for you btw." They all went silent because they didn't knew if I was talking about my chosen name or my assigned one, but at this point I thought that it is clear that when I say "my name" I mean my chosen one. I love how they ever try to justify with "but the ID", "but we've chosen one for you", "but we've known you as Ben for 16 years."

I said I want to change my ID's name and gender, and my sister said: "you might regret it later; there are many things I wanted at your age that I don't want now." While I get what she was meaning, still was offensive, tried to explain her why it was but she didn't got it. It's not that I want to be named Hana and be a girl; I already AM Hana, a girl, my mind adopted it until it became almost unconscious, if I want to change my ID is because I already am and I don't want that annoying document saying "Benjamin" and "male".

I once said people like me exist and they got even angrier.

Changed the meme precisely because many games aged well.

Tips for look? I still look like a dude and feel dysphoric and there's a big difference between that and looking like a butch
