Will your mom think you're crazy if you tell her that you're a girl in a boy's body?

Answer 1

She may not understand and she may be disappointed, which is a normal first reaction with parents, and doesn't mean they love you any less. But if you truly believe you are a girl in a boy's body, then you need to talk to her about it. If you feel she won't be receptive to listening, then you may want to discuss it with another family member first, someone whom you feel may be able to help you explain it to your mom.

But before you talk to anyone about it, you first need to research and study it and learn as much about this as possible. Also, depending on your age, it may be best to wait until you are a bit older before talking to your mom, or anyone else, about it.

Don't talk to friends about it yet either, for several reasons. For one, no matter how much you trust your friends, they may not be willing to accept this, at least not at first. Also, they may not honor that confidentiality, which would most likely lead to others teasing you and making your life hell. Lastly, you need to be absolutely positive this is how you feel before talking to them about it. There is always a slight chance that you may be confused right now, and may even change your mind later.

Once you have researched and learned all you can about it, and if you still feel you were born in the wrong body, then you can talk to your mom about this. That is part of the reason you need to research and learn as much about it as possible. The more you educate yourself about this, the better you can help your mom to understand, and the better you can understand it yourself, and be absolutely certain this is how you feel and what you want.

I also strongly suggest you check into counseling and/or support groups in your area, or online support groups, who can help you understand all aspects of the feelings you have about this. It will also help you to realize and know you are not crazy, because you aren't. And you are certainly not alone in this because there are thousands and thousands of others just like you, both male and female who feel they were born in the wrong body, too.

Answer 2

It's important to communicate openly and honestly with your mom about how you feel. She might need time to understand, but it's essential to express your true self. Seek support from others if needed.
