Hello, I'm a 17M who is suffering from ​severe gender dysphoria​​ who lives in ​a very conservative family​​​. As of recently, ​​​I have been experiencing depression like symptoms that I mask as ​​I don't want anyone knowing what I'm going through. ​​When I look in ​​the mirror, ​all I see is a person wantinf to be a woman but can't due to my family being comprised of bigots and idiots. Whenever I brought up the topic of transgender individuals to my family, they see them as mentally ill and state that its a phase, same goes with my siblings. Can anyone give me advice ​​​​​because I'm currently in hell and I don't what to do anymore. ​​​
