Well to start off, I'm 20 and I recently " came out " to a few friends as a crossdresser and they were totally supportive of it. But it's brought up some weird feelings for me when one of them asked if I was transgender. I just said I didn't want to deal with labels for now. That as far as I was concerned, it was just crossdressing. But I remember even as a little kid I remember always being more interested in girl activities and styles, trying on clothes or nail polish or whatever my mom had around, and generally wanting to play with the girls but I knew boys weren't supposed to do that stuff and I was worried what people would do if I did. I even specifically remember instances where I would go to sleep wishing I could wake up as a girl. Now I feel conflicted because I don't quite have that same bedtime wish, but I don't really know if it's because that was all some phase, or if it's simply just because I'm older and understand it doesn't work like that.
So naturally, I thought about going to see a therapist, I figure someone who has dealt with this kind of thing before could help point in the right direction. And if it turns out this is just me being a spaz, then at least I could vent to someone about all of this.
Many of us here have been through what you're going through now, to greater or lesser degrees, and in a society that was a lot less accepting. We've mostly come through it in one piece and so will you. 
There is plenty to read here and an opportunity to vent whenever you need to (within reason.. 
worth. Good luck. Hope it goes well.
