Heart to Heart with Malvika

Published On: February 7, 2017 11:00 PM NPT By: Republica

I was born a male but found out I was a woman about five years ago. In a society so rigid I’m scared that no one will accept me. There are only three people who know about me being a transgender. My boyfriend is very loving and fully supports me, yet he is scared that people will criticize him too. My younger sister is more supportive of me than my brother. I haven’t had the courage to tell my parents. Recently the subject of my marriage was approached by one of my relatives and I’m scared my parents will marry me to a girl who I will never love. I don’t know how to come out to my parents. I feel like this is the perfect time to take action. But I have no idea what to do? Please suggest some ideas.
