FtM Things will never get better

I thought I would finally be able to leave my parents house but I’m just realizing how expensive the real world is. I am entirely unprepared for independence and it hurts. I want to move out. I want to be with my partner. I want to start transitioning. I feel worthless being unable to do anything about it. I want to hurt myself.

OP. Do NOT listen to the person telling you to join the military. The military leans on online recruitment tactics for disillusioned and disadvantaged people.

There are similar options, however. There are plenty of jobs available to lots of people. Also, contact organizations with resources for LGBT+ people and they can help with more professional advice.

I know how it is with shit being too goddamn expensive and I say, going to be a pornstar will earn you big bucks. Of course, you can also be an arms dealer on the side and be heavily armed to the teeth but try working multiple jobs here and there, then you'll be able to get the stuff you really need to be happy in life.

That’s how you end up doing drugs on the street bro. You don’t want to throw away your dignity if you don’t have to

Things can always get better. Moreover, nearly every transgender man I've ever met transitions super well regardless of starting age.

You can get better by trying and persisting. Best wishes.

Have you considered joining the military? That would be able to help you become independent.

Christ that's a awful suggestion for a transperson.

I mean, that's an awful suggestion for anyway, but bonus bad for trans people.

No, it actually isn't. It sounds like you are saying that based on unfounded opinions. I am currently in the military, and it is great!
