I think I might be transgendered but I am scared to talk to anyone about it. I do not get along that well with my parents, my friends are pretty closed-minded (and we don't talk much anyway), there is no GSA or PFLAG n my town, and I don't want to talk about this with my counselor. But I do want to talk with someone about it in person. What should I do?

You may just have gender nonconformity as well. It can range from when a person wants to be the opposite gender they was born, often they had characteristics that seemed to belong to the opposite gender, to just that people with characteristics that seem to belong to the opposite gender.
Often , or I believe, that some children are born with a predisposition to gender nonconformity. While other children can learn characteristics that make them have a gender nonconformity. It seems to me the ones born with a gender nonconformity tend to want to be the opposite sex they was born, while those that learn gender nonconformity often grow out of the characteristics that seem to be of the opposite gender,
There is little studies out just yet about gender nonconfromity, the studies that are out tend to say gender nonconformity is a predisposition to homosexuality, but i do not agree with that totally. It can be, but there are many children with a gender nonconformity that do not become homosexual.
As with me, the gender nonconfrormity was before, or a help to constructing homosexuality in me, so it was sort of a predisposition, but really gender nonconformity and homosexuality are two different issues. It was an innoscent act of homosexuality, along with gender nonconformity that was my predisposition to homosexuality. Had i had treatment or a diagnoise of gender nonconformity i may have not formed or constructed homosexuality.
I do not know were you are in that issue. I find most people do not want the sex change unless they are , or have constructed the homosexuality in them as well. They tend to believe they are not gay, because they should have been born the opposite gender. Not all think this, some people that had a gender nonconformity become hetrosexual and still want a sex change.
You could talk to your counsler, but she may not know much about gender nonconformity. I am sure she has heard of transgendered. Transgendered means one is living as the opposite sex, pre opt means trans-sexual.
Scince your parents do not know, i would say you are gender nonconfoming. Or you was born with gender nonconformity.

I am not sure about beginning in person. Since you have Yahoo though, there are transgender groups. Check out the groups, become a member and ask your question. They may have more information about the procedures, and anything you need. They may also live closer than you think to assist in person. Wish you luck.
Also with PFLAG and other groups, they may be able to direct you to in person help as well.

You could try to get a psychologist, many times they are helpful and also have a non disclosure agreement, in other words they can not tell your parents unless you threaten to kill yourself or harm someone else. Atleast such is how I've been told some of my friends shrinks.
I would first try finding a LGBT friendly shrink through online research of your town and what not, and see what you come up with. It may cost a bit though.
Are you certain there is not one of your friends you truly trust and can talk to?

I would suggest someone familiar with language arts and the use of semantics and idiomatic usages and phrases in the Hebrew, Greek and Latin. Check with the language arts division of your nearest university.

THIS IS JUST MY OPION BUT IF YOU CAN'T TRUST YOU PARENTS AND YOUR COUSELOR WHO CAN YOU TRUST. I AM A COMPLETE STRANGER TRYING TO GIVE YOU ADVISE IN THIS MATTER, BUT I BELIEVE IF YOU CAN STILL LOVE YOUR SELF AFTER YOU TALK TO YOUR PARENTS THEN YOU CAN BE WHOM EVER YOU WANT, NEVER , NEVER BE SOME ONE THAT YOU ARE NOT JUST TO PLEASE EVERYONE AROUND YOU.
