Two Home Runs today!!!!

[ShawnaLeigh]

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

Fantastic news! It looks like you raised two good kids there.

 

Hugs!

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.

 

Susan R?

Great news @ShawnaLeigh that they were so accepting and your fears were for naught. Now to relish their acceptance and love.

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.  

[Sally Stone]

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.

I forgot to add that Nobody in my family has seen me like this.

[DeeDee]

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  

[SaraAW]

Congratulations to you both, Shawna and Mahaney. Really great to see your families supporting you. 
 

*hugs*

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?
