Ok well im trans(FtM)
My mom does not know yet, im pretty sure she has a clue but im not completely sure. Now i have a few questions.
How do I come about telling her?
second is totally unrelated to telling my mom. How much would it cost to get a sex change?
How long does it usually take?
And how old do you have to be to get it done?

i really hope that if this is really what you want that you really really think about it because its a complete change you have to take estrogen pills which is the female hormone and your privates will be replaced. it takes quite a long time and many surgeries. it's not cheap. i would hold off from telling her this is only my opinion. if you want to talk PM me anytime

I think you should hold out on telling her untill you are finished with puberty, and your hormones chill out. I know you probably wnt believe me, but your hormones are raging right now.
Also, it costs A LOT to get a sex change. Not to mention the various treatmets and numerous surgeries (like bakatdarkcornergenis already said)

I have heard that it takes a few years to get a sex change, as they have to do a lot of psychological tests, to confirm that you truly want to do it.

Coming Out
I suggest telling her right upfront, be honest with her, says it what you want to be this way and I would appreciate it if you would support me.
Sex Change cost
It would cost thousands of dollars, it usually takes a while to perform the operation as they have to taken everything out and then create a place for the urethra to go.

So were you born a girl and want to be a guy or vice-versa?

well, coming out to your parents about this is possibly harder than coming out to parents as being gay. she will probably be shocked when you tell her. i don't know exactly how your mom is or what your deal is so i can't offer specific advice, only that you might want to do it through a letter or other medium. give her time to calm down and think about what to say. Please PM me if you want more specific advice on this. as for the sex change. if you do it in the US it is damn expensive. you'll probably end up going to a place like hong kong to get it done cheaper. i think you have to be 21 but perhaps 18. the surgery itself will take several hours. but in order to get to the surgery you will be subject to many examinations over many months, physical and psychological. you will probably have to dress in drag for awhile. you'll have to take hormones and undergo psychological tests. i'm not trying to talk you out of this but many trans people don't actually get the surgery. it will be less expensive for you and many people just don't want to do it. also know that you can never take it back after you do the surgery. I wish you the best of luck Dylan and like i said, feel free to PM me.

well idk about the rest but to get a sex change its a super long process........ they make you go through therapy, and lotz more. You must drag for one year before they will do anything to make sure you are making the right choice. I saw this all on tv sooo yea :P

I believe you must be on hormone pills for at least a year before your first, of SEVERAL surgeries. So make sure you are 1 billion percent sure this is what you want.
