Alex's Answer

Hello there! Welcome to Ask Alex. Thank you for reaching out with your question.

 

Figuring out your identity can be a confusing and emotional journey, but you’re not alone in this. You say you have just found out you’re gay trans, so it sounds like this is new for you. You are wondering how to cut off your penis, but we would be worried to hear you are thinking of doing something like this yourself because it would be dangerous.

 

Would you consider talking to a trusted adult about how you’re feeling? This could be a relative, a teacher, a coach, or any adult in your life. You have the right to get help and be supported in what’s going on for you. An adult in your life could provide guidance and support to you and explore what your next step might be.

 

It’s important to know that there is support available if you are confused or questioning your gender identity. BeLong To and TENI (Transgender Equality Network Ireland) are two organizations that offer support to LGBTI+ people and their families to help them overcome any difficulties they may be experiencing.
