I hadn't planned on ever coming out to my family initially. Living in my parents home still though and knowing I'm ready to take the next step (start Testosterone) I knew I needed to bite the bullet and at least come out to my mother. I had planned on coming out on National Coming Out Day, but she was busy. She had some time today though and I did it.
Shes not happy I'm choosing to do this while I'm so young and she'd like it better if I waited. That she has raised for twenty years as a female and she doesnt think she'll be able to ever really see me as male, but...She is allowing me to start hormones. I had made it clear that if she wasn't okay with my transitioning while still living in the house that I would wait. I plan on be moving out next summer anyway. All she asked was that I didn't go through with my name change or anything like that until I was ready to come out to the rest of the family, at least while I'm living in the house.
I'm really relieved and kind of weirded out at the same time. I definitely expected her to freak out. She did bring up God and how I'm to have a long talk with him about all this, so I guess turned out about right. Suppose I'll eventually have to tell her I'm not Christian.
