Me and my mom are trying to relocate from Louisiana to Maryland for medical necessity, health insurance, and safety reasons. Can anyone help? We really are at a roadblock in Louisiana. They are making it very difficult with essential needs and healthcare. I have been struggling since I was 11 years old to present my gender identity comfortably as a girl and truthfully be me. Because of my self-consciousness about my appearance and dealing with gender dysphoria, it only made me more self-conscious about being in public. I’m pretty sure that’s why I get a bit self-conscious.

This is more about me and my backstory:

(In December 2025, it was my first time going out with a skirt on. It was already nighttime and pretty dark. My mom’s truck was parked by the house. I went outside, grabbed the pizza box out of the truck, and then ran back immediately into the house.)

When I was at a restaurant with my Uncle Ron, the individual asked me what I wanted to get from the restaurant. I mentioned what I wanted to get, but they couldn’t hear me. So instead, my Uncle Ron spoke up for me. Not wanting to be the center of attention, I stood there quietly.

When I was 9 years old, I was in Walmart and a bit curious about getting a doll, but instead, I got a plush toy due to societal expectations and seeing it more for girls. I was nine years old in 2017. I was actually trying to fit in to some extent, I guess, or didn’t want to seem awkward since that was in the girl’s aisle if I can remember where it was at that time. So instead, I got a plush toy.

When I was 11 years old, I was experimenting with my gender identity with skirts, nail polish, lipstick, and bras. I kept it more of a secret. The only people who knew at the time besides me were my close friend JJ and my mom. When I was 11 years old, I kept it a secret, worried about being interpreted negatively, bullied, or made fun of. By 12 years old, I started puberty and noticed the discomfort in puberty. By age 13, I was like, I don’t want to be a boy; I want to be a girl. By 16 years old, I started voice training, purchasing new clothes, and thinking of what my name would be as a girl. My original name was Dyron at birth, but my feminine name is Daisy. I am a bit of a shy but neurodiverse individual with ADHD and autism.

I would really appreciate if someone can help because I really need it.

I can barely function as well as I used to, having difficulty with sleep, and now having depression ever since I started puberty and figured out that I was not comfortable being a boy and that I wanted to be a girl.

I only just became a young adult on March 3rd, 2026, but I don’t have any allowance and there’s nothing I can do currently. I have no idea what to do. I have been literally asking my mom to help me with this circumstance for a very long time. Ever since I was around 17 or 16 years old, I have been trying to ask her to help me transition, but even then, she hasn’t really helped. Currently, she is having allowance issues too, with home payment and payment for other important necessities.
