my friend just came out to her parents. ftm. it's hard getting used to calling her something else or using he instead of she. but i'll always love her no matter what. and i totally support her. and you seem cool. and i definitely support you. =)
When I was living in jolly old England we had a milk man complete with the outfit and truck. The whole thing was authentic right down to the glass milk bottles. Those were the days lol. Good luck to you. I am in the same boat.
Thnx for another great vid. Good luck with telling your family. All of my family knows, some family talks to me, others give lip service and ignore me, while others have cut me out of their lives completely. My brother didn't talk to me for 8 months, and then eventually started talking to me again.
Yes, I was supposed to do it today but my father went away. Its bad feeling like your ready and then having to postpone it. We will see. I will try next week!
Charlotte, I wish you luck in telling your Dad and I think he may surprise you. But I wouldn't expect too much. Given his age and generation, if he reacts by telling you that he doesn't really get it but still loves you, that is major in itself. Good luck and much love.
that is so awesome... I have been thinking about telling my two grandmas today... oy, I think they'll be fine but my parents are worried about it and they make me nervous
Can you talk about what you were like growing up male vs how you are now. Could people tell how you were as you were growing up, and did you date women as a guy, and could they tell you were different.
I live in my own apartment and the side of the family that lives in the same state as me (my mother and such) are supportive. Luckily I will not have to consider that.
Naa.., the hardest thing IS telling/losing family. Trust me, i'm post-op, remarried,100% passing, and really loved as a stepmom raising two boys. It doesn't make a difference with some families. I'm so happy with how my life turned out, but still grieve over lost siblings etc. It's just a hard thing, but you'll do O.K.
Thank you for the comment. Hopefully it won't go as bad as I fear. My brother and mother as well as her side of the family were great about it. My friends have been equally good about it, however my father's side of the family is very iffy. All has gone well so far!
I'm scared of Grandpa, everybody else I currently have contact with will except me.

Time is on the side of most transitioners as most people come around in the long run. I can't say I am not scared though!
karmatic1110 4 years ago
Oh, I know! I really don't blame them for freaking out if they do. I suppose its just hope for the best :/

I can relate on the father front. On my list of people in my family I would tell, he is the one I am most scared of telling.

I am not scared of telling him perse, but that side of the family as a whole. I don't think it's going to go over well.

I am sorry but the milk bottles and delivery process fascinates me. I don't know why but I have always wanted milk in one of those glass containers!
