This is a supportive community for all transfeminine or questioning people. Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.

Debate surrounding transgender rights or acceptance will result in an immediate ban.

Hello lovely ladies and friends, because of my situation I am basically forced to not be able to transition in any realistic capacity for the foreseeable future. I'm not exactly closeted but I live with very religious family members that would for sure get rid of me if I did try to transition. They already tried when they found out looking through my laptop.

I've accepted myself almost 3 years ago now but it's seeming more and more that she will never show herself. My current situation also prevents any odds of me moving out.

The only person I could be myself around irl we stopped talking due to issues and now I feel completely lost.

With that all said, what exactly can I do to let myself show as I so desperately want but cannot have?

I don't know if that helps you, but a tip for your laptop:

Create a new partition and use VeraCrypt to encrypt it. Use a long, randomly generated password for it. It's nearly impossible (read: for your family absolutely impossible) to crack and you can install a browser there and chat tools and save images and stuff like that. This might give you some privacy and help you to explore yourself.

Sorry I can't help on the actual topic, I found this thread on my frontpage and I don't know how to deal with your actual situation, but I know things about computers and privacy.

Thanks for this. I've been planning to do a battery and nvme swap in my laptop so I'll add this to the list when I do that
