Presenting as male around family for the first time, Christmas dinner

[Alexmakenoise]

I'm on my way to my brother's house to have Christmas dinner with him, my sister-in-law, and my parents.  I'm barely out to them, but I'm going to go ahead and show up in my binder and guy clothes.  I realize they'll probably think I'm crazy, but I'm done with trying to act like someone other than myself around my family.  I'm too old for that.  Wish me luck.

Good luck!

[Zach R]

Good luck.  Let us know how it goes.

Dope. Good luck; I hope it goes well. And good choice, be you and don't seek anyone's approval.

Very cool. Best of luck to you.

[Nathaniel]

That's awesome. Hope it goes well!

[Lee]

Congratulations on taking that step.  I hope it goes well.

Anyone who would object at Christmas dinner has missed the whole point of the day.  Hope it goes really well.

[Cindy]

Good luck and I echo Karen's comments.

Thanks everyone!  It went well in that no one acted like they noticed.  I think people might be treating me in a more gender-neutral way as my appearance becomes more masculine, but I can't be sure.  Anyway, it's a step in the right direction.

[Cindy]

Congrats, that is a good outcome in my book!
