I Am So Depressed I Wake Up Tired and Feel Tired All Day

I HATE WHEN MY PARENTS KEEP SAYING "you'll grow up to be a fine young man and a man has learn to take care of his family." I honestly feel like crying and punching something because it really hurts to be called a "man". For 5 1/2 years I've always felt like a female and the feeling gets stronger every day. I don't know what to do.

Oh man. have a honest conversation with your parents. I know how hard that can be.
How do your parents think about it?
Having no power because of depressed feelings is so bad. I am sorry but please solve it. One day you need to do it anyway. *hug*
