Came out to my sister a few days ago


Princess-audra

Recommended Posts

This past Thursday I had called up my sister. She is the one who I wanted to come out to first. I had gotten home from work and had dinner, then I called her up and we was talking about work, taxes, concerts, and such. We was on the phone for an hour and half be for I dropped the new. She took it well and she had a suspicion since I had changed my Bitmoji character and we was txting about a C2E2 that usually takes place in Chicago and I mentioned that I would probably dress up as a Sailor Moon character and I also mentioned that women's cloths felt more comfortable. She mentioned that a friend or two has came out, listens to music by a trans artist, and always wanted a sister (we have the same Dad, but different mothers, her mother only wanted one kid). I had felt a small weight off my shoulders.

 

So, today over Snapchat she mentions I could get a hair straightener to help make my hair look longer (my hair is poofy and in curling on the ends), I stopped at the store and got one (she mentioned one she uses, but they was sold out of that one, but got a different brand). I used it onec I had gotten home and I about cried after I used it since my hair was laying the way I wanted it to be.

This is truly a wonderful outcome. Congratulations. ?

About a week later I had came out to my Mom and Grandma, they accepted it but had a million drilling questions and did not want me going on hormones. They seemed a bit confused since this seemed out of the blue to them. They both had seen clues before (women's cloths and such) but since I was not acting feminine outwardly. Have not came out to anyone else as of yet.

Thank you. Yeah, For my Mom and Grandma, I knew it was going to be a shock to them and they would be ok with it on some level. But, time it all it will take. It is my journey and I knw where I need to take it.

A BIG congratulations to you @Princess-audra!? That takes a lot of courage to come out to family especially your mom. I couldn’t do it myself way back when. Kudos to you. It all gets so much easier as you go. There may come a time when you’ll actually hate waiting to let someone know. You just want everyone you care about to know the real you!

 

I’m very happy for you and thank you for sharing your wonderful news!

 

My Best,

Susan R?

That you. I think I forgot to mention they don't want me to go on estrogen and think it through. But I have been think this through for years, and been seeing a therapist. They have a list of excuses on not to go down this path and I never appeared to be feminine from what they could tell, but seemed to be supportive for the most part.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      Happy birthday, Sam! Lotsa love!

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I wore an olive corduroy coverall dress with a navy blue shirt underneath.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
    • Ashley0616
      You're welcome. I'm here quite often if you need me.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
