Guys, my mom is taking me to an OB specialist. How do I tell her that I don't like being touched or my private parts looked at? I'm ace btw.

explin its not something you are comfortable doing, if she still makes you go you might have to explain further
i'm ace too so i know the feeling

You can explain to both your mom and your doctor how you feel about it. Remember that the doctor cannot look at or touch you without your consent. Doctors, especially OBs are very understanding of everything that goes on 'down there'. All you need to do is speak up. :) You can even ask your mom to leave the room while you and the doctor talk privately, technically she is not allowed in the room without your consent either.

Even if it makes you feel funky, regular check ups are extremely vital to your health. Your doctor is supposed to be someone you can trust implicitly, so give them the chance to help you and support you. All you have to do is reach out! :)

^^^^^
these doctors have your best interest in mind, but don't be afraid to talk to them about it and you being uncomfortable. Even if they just talk you through what they're doing, it helps a lot with discomfort and anxiety. Odds are you are far from the only one uncomfortable with the situation, the doctor will have ways to help if you make your discomfort known.

my best friend's mom works at a thrift store and she asked her mom to try and find a binder for me and her mom said she would
(the reason I can't buy my own is three words "Extremely Religious, Family")

yay! let’s hope you get the binder!
so, do your family not know or??

Thanks, im going to talk to a counselor soon about the issue so im nervous about everything

I want to tell one of my teachers about my trans stuff and ask if he can call me my preferred name and pronouns but im nervous about is and all my friends are like "ARE YOU THAT DUMB HE WILL MOST LIKELY BE OK WITH IT HE IS ALSO PART OF THE LGBT COMMUNITY" so thats a plus but I am just a pussy so that is not good at human interaction so I'm just thinking "I hate coming out so much"
