Always Going To Be Hizmom

[Guest hizmom]

born to me a daughter

emerging as my son....

that is how i describe the

circumstance we are navigating

i am here to learn and listen

and share the life of someone

who loves a transgender/transexual

he just turned 15 and is a treasured

and cherished child who rocks my world....

he has been thru leadership training with GLSEN

and will be fully invested in activist activities

this coming school year and i will be his

biggest, baddest and loudest supporter

he knows in his heart

that i will always be his mom

and i know in mine that this child

is something wonderful

Great introduction. You are a wonderful mother

[Guest StrandedOutThere]

Wow...that's awesome. Welcome to the forums!

[Guest brandt]

you know that really almost made me cry. i wish i had a mom like you. i just turned 16 and no support whatsoever from my mother. its great to know your son has the greatest mother ever.

[Guest Drew]

your child is lucky to have a mother like you welcome to the forums.

[Guest Evan_J]

Geez I'm 40 and you even had me goin there. -You are really awesome.

[Guest Sergei]

My mother is unbelievably supportive as well, and it really, really makes the world of difference to my transition. I think you are fantastic for being so supportive. Welcome to the forums. I have been here over a year now, and it is a great place to be. xxx

[Guest hizmom]

thank you (((all))) for the kind words

altho i will tell you ( and so will my kids)

that under the fluff is a genuine hard-@ss!

no support whatsoever from my mother

that DID make me cry....

and it does almost every

time i hear it or read it

(copied from a post

i made on another forum)

my child tells me of those on forums, in his community of support,

whose parents refuse to accept their child's "questioning", being

dismissive or hysterical, or hateful and rejecting....

maybe having had to stand at the foot of an emergency room gurney,

seeing 11 leads, lines and tubes coming out of "his" 4 YO dying body

and watching 7 medical personnel enacting a choreography of disciplined

precision and skill and hearing thru a disbelieving haze

" no breath sounds.... life support...3 rounds and no response"...

standing there praying to be spared having to know what

life would be without this treasured child.... maybe that made

hearing the words " i need to be a boy" just part of loving the miracle that is my son....

it is unthinkable on my part to do otherwise

dunno... just seems so incredibly wrong to

think love is more or less than what it is...

freely given without condition

ok... off the soap box

cos i know i am preaching

to the choir here!

at any rate

i look forward to meeting you

and walking the path to the

time when we are all just people

I said it once and I'll say it again...YOU ARE SO COOL. I'm in the "not expecting any family support" boat too. However, I'm not out to my family yet so maybe I should give them a chance before I dismiss them. Still...the reason I'm not out to them is because I have heard them time and time again condemn people who are different. If they don't like "the gays" and "the lesbians", I'm not expecting transgender people to be popular either. It makes me really happy just to know that there are people like you out there.

That's awesome. I'm so right with you. I too am looking forward to that time when we are all just people.

[Guest Donna Jean]

Oh my god, you are wonderful! You say what SO many people wish they could hear themselves.....just pure love -no judgement-just happy to have that person with ingrown toenails, dandruff, shingles, gender dysphoria, halitosis, ...whatever......its just that person that you love...sniff......You are a true joy to meet ..WELCOME!!!!!!

Peace
