Dad Called About Coming Out Letter

Just when you thought the post office was slow moving I received a call from my dad. When I received the call I read that it was my dad and I couldn't answer the phone. I was so scared of the response I was about to get. He never leaves me a message but this time he did. I listened to the voice mail and just started crying.

He said that he got my letter and that he wanted to talk. He said that he understand completely and that this happens all the time. He then said he doesn't want me to think he would be mad about this. He said that he is all for it if that is what I want and just wanted to talk about it.

I called him about 30 minutes later when I calmed down but of course started crying again as soon as he answered. He just kept telling me that he loved me no matter if I am his daughter or son. He also said something that I didn't expect from him. He said no matter what anyone says you must transition for yourself to be happy.

He told me that he has actually read a lot of articles about this and watch shows about this. I totally shocked me and I was a loss for words.

He said that I don't need to worry about anyone else in the family on his side because he will take care of it. He didn't want me to be stressed on coming out to anyone else in the family.

I was told that if anything ever happened that I will always have a place to stay and that no matter what he will help me get through it.

I just can't stop crying right now but at least it is because of good news and not bad.

I forgot to mention that he actually called me Sarah on the phone one time when talking to him. He still called me son a lot and kept saying he will have to work on it. He also asked what I wanted to be called and I told him that I am ok for now if he messes up but if we are ever out together that I wanted to be called his daughter or Sarah. He told me that wasn't a problem as long as I am happy.

I forgot to mention that he was relieved that it was this because he thought with the weight loss and my physical changes he saw that I had cancer or something else.

That's about as good as it gets, Sarah. I couldn't be happier for you, hon.

It doesn't solve all your problems, but it does give you a huge base of support, now. That is a HUGE deal. :)

Wow Sarah! That has to be way beyond expectations. He has the understanding all of us wish we had from our parents. It doesn't get any better than that. I am ecstatic that this happened to you.

      Welcome to TransPulseForums @gizgizgizzie    I hope you find this place as helpful as I do. I’m also in a slow transition living in the androgynous world. I’m out to my grown children and my extended family with mixed support from them. Some have cut me out of their lives and others want me to be their flamboyant family member.    Best wishes, stay positive and motivated    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      To escape Gaza is already an achievement. And then to be trans?

      Accidents happen.  So do heat-of-the-moment murders, without premeditation or trans-related hate.  It will take a trial to really figure it out.     One thing we can see from this is that it is people in our circles of acquaintances, friends, and partners who are the ones who usually hurt us.  Not someone random. We have to be careful who we trust.

      IDAHOBIT

      By Mirrabooka · Posted

      Friday May 17th is IDAHOBIT (International Day Against HOmophobia, BIphobia and Transphobia).   Do you acknowledge or celebrate it? Do you do anything special for it, like taking part in any organized events or activities?   I'm not an activist and I prefer to fly under the radar, but I am slowly becoming aware of important dates. I have been aware of the date of IDAHOBIT for a few weeks now, but other important 'rainbow' dates have not been etched into my brain yet.    I will wear my favorite pride t-shirt as a token acknowledgement of the day, but it probably won't be seen; cool weather here will mean that it will be hidden under a sweater.

      What is happiness for you?

      By Mirrabooka · Posted

      Happiness for me comes from being cognizant of the things that make me feel good.   Sunshine.   Pandering to my inner woman.   Knowing that some people in my life really 'know' me.   Vacations, and Eggs Benedict at an alfresco cafe.   My wife and I being telepathic.   Grandchildren.   Music.   Wine!

      True.  Every trans death is not a hate crime. There is so much hate expressed by some people, that we kinda get to expect it.

      happiness to me is being ME. At all times, and it has yet to happen.

      By Vidanjali · Posted

      Hello & welcome, giz! Your post makes me remember how excited I was to join here too. I also had queer friends at the time I joined, but any of my trans friends lived a long distance away. So most local queer friends are gay & I felt uncomfortable coming out to them bc I couldn't assume they'd understand genderqueerness. So it was a thrill to join here and immediately have access to do many wonderful, genuine, kind & thoughtful friends-to-be.   Are you saying you're concerned that if you come out to your queer friends that somehow your parents will find out?     My love, I just want to affirm that that's not a weird dysphoria. It's just dysphoria. And we definitely get it. You're in good company here!     Look forward to seeing you around here & getting to know you. I shoot for androgynous appearance as well, leaning towards masculine.   Hope you're having a splendid day!

      Listening to a YouTube mix for me and this song came up and I immediately fell in love again and just want to play music with like minded musicians playing OUR music and feel the joy and fulfillment even if no one else gets it. I love to fall into the music....
