So as you know I told my son from my other recent post. An incredible feeling. 
Well my daughter was told tonight and it went even better!   
Apparently she has a friend that just went through all this snd she knows how hard it was on her.  
She said she wishes she knew sooner.  She felt so sorry for me.  
I broke down and cried.  
My wife looks over and said. “Well looks like she’s ok with it“  Lol

Wow, more great news ShawnaLeigh...what a relief for you!  One of my grandkids said almost the exact same thing to me after my retelling my life story at a kids level (they were 7 & 9 at the time).  Some children have deep empathy.  It surprised me.  I think it was very helpful for you that her friend had experiences similar to yours.  Sounds like you have some great kids.

Thank you ladies.  It has been wonderful having that stress lifted.  
I still have my uphill battles but my support is growing to an unexpected size.  
it gives me hope for an easier transition.

How wonderful ShawnaLeigh, I'm so glad your children are taking it well.  I actually have a dear friend that is transitioning, and when she told her daughters, one of them said: "well it's about time you finally confirmed what we already knew."  Kids are so intuitive and they are of a generation that doesn't have the hangups ours does.

 

Congrats, hugs,

I had a similar experience about a week ago. I went to a cousin of mines house for dinner in booties and with my nylon bra and fake breasts in. She commented me on them. Her mother my aunt was there and didn't say a thing.

Mahaney that was brave! Telling family and have them process it is one thing, but when they actually see us dressed physically in front of them we can still only hope for a positive reaction. Good news is good newsthough, well done Shawnaleigh I'm happy for you :)

I may be alittle late but congratulations! lol I believe the next few generations aren't going to be as judgemental as people were in the past, My younger brother and sister were both happy af to hear me coming out last summer as well, i was super relieved because of how well they took it and understood, the feeling of being accepted by the people you feel like you have a responsibility to is one of the greatest things ❤️

This here. The difference in attitude from this generation vs. my own generation or my parent's generation is amazing. I hope that we continue to move forward as a culture and a species and away from the prejudices of the past. My niece was great, she was basically, "Neat! I have another aunt." My nephew is seventeen and communicates entirely through grunts and farts. I think he's happy, but it's hard to tell.

 

Hugs!

LOL I might have the same personality as your nephew minus the farting part ? I like to be a loner so I prefer little to no communication at all unless it was virtually done then I could talk away for hours! I know that its most likely a form of anxiety & i should see someone about it but i'm fine, i'm happy, infact i've never felt this way since the day i found out why i was a "boy" in physical form. Sometimes things take time and patience instead of gouging on pills with 3984520938 side effects. IM NOT AGAINST PILLS, I just try to avoid them WHENEVER i can, But i will take pills whenever i really need them, like my HRT pills but anyways i'm going to shut up before this turns into a messy debate on medication/healthcare lol. 

Can I just say i'm jelly about all of your waving flags though? Any way i could fix this or is this a web dev thing?

      My mom has been more accepting of me being trans lately and even promised i could get a binder if i pay with my own money. The preferred name is still an issue. So far my mom, close friends and brother know i identify as trans but no one else does. I recently told mr grandparents about my partner and explaines the perferred name as a nickname they prefer to have. Luckily everyone who knows is accepting but i feel like i still have so much progress to make. Started getting more uncomfortbale being reffered to as my deadname and she/her in public. My therapist is getting me a trans pin for my birthday next time I see her. I have hop but sometimes I feel like the goal is so far. HRT and top surgery are things i know i want but there has been warnings given to me about the problems that come with it from the ones that have accepted me and I trust most. Mainly from the adults in my life that know, also been getting nervous many people dont see me as a man but i also go to an all girl school. being consistenly reffered to as women has started to get to me and have had urge on several occasions to write perferred name on paper. i dont think pereffered name can go into school system due to being catholic school and for graduation diploma we have to contact the person in charge and ask. I just need some advice on what to do, I am thank ful for the advice everyone had given me, made me feel better about future and hope that I can transition but also worry about familial ties and affect. due to most f them being born in the 80's and 90's and not taking it well originally mostly based on my moms reaction. I love my family alot but how they might react is scaring me. my mom still donesnt want them to know. I know they love me but when I eventually come out and medically trasition in several years hopefully, what will happen? there are little kids in the family and I already dont see them a lot, how would their parents react? what would they say to the kids? I know my aunt would not take it well due to political belief and warnings from cousins.

      Maybe.  But they'd probably resent being required to do it.   IDK.  You have to show ID to register already.  And you have to be registered to vote.

      Hah! Woke up the Red Scare!   I’ve never read Marx. I tend to believe in the inherent goodness in people. I let their words and deeds change that. Insisting people are immoral/less than/should not exist, stripping them (or keeping them from) human rights, is an a most basic example of true evil. What evils do LGBTQ+ people present simply existing? How does the Right justify their crusade against us? What justifies the manufactured fear and loathing they spout every day about us?

      Congrats on the new addition @Ivy I have the opposite I have 4 grandson and a granddaughter. 3 of whom are visiting this weekend. I am feeling better. I think the biggest thing is that I got some much needed sleep.   Well gotta go and speed sometime with the grandsons.   Kymmie

      I saw this concert in which it is said that the famous phrase of Jon Landau "I saw the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen" comes from that night. By the way Bruce opened for Bonnie Raitt that night and she was the better performer . . . just sayin'.

      Astronomy and astrophotography.  I have done a few public presentations on the subject and could most likely wing it for an hour without putting you to sleep.   On the other hand if you need a sleeping pill, I could also talk for an hour about flying and you'd be out cold.

      Please consider joining us, even if it's just for a few minutes to see what the meetings are like. I've learned so much, had so much fun and gained confidence in myself just by being a part of this amazing group of people. It's a low key, no pressure, non-judgmental chance to just be among people who are supportive, understanding and affirming of each other.    I'm travelling out of state and still planning on dropping in for awhile.    Come see what it's like!! 
    • April Marie
      Thank you, Susan!! It was such an amazing experience for me. I can't remember if I even talked about it on a Zoom meeting.   Here is the link to the post I made about it. And, again, thank you for helping to give me the courage to do it.
