Unfortunately, he did verify that my mom will not take the news well based on his own experience. They get along great now but... Rumor has it the peace might be superficial. Her world, isn't the biggest. She loves "simple" to the point that word is a bane to my existence already. She has potential I think, but she needs to have the confidence to stand on her own two feet and she needs to think for herself. I'm not going to hold my breath for that to happen however.
At least this time I know without question or doubt that I am a woman, unlike when I tried coming out in 2000. I'm sure she'll throw being unable to give birth in my face again. Really what will be hardest for me will be not being a jerk about it and saying something cruel. I think that's where my cousin will be good for me. He has a real good humor when it comes to dealing with people who love simplicity, like my mother. Me, if I ever feel disrespected at all, it's like calling Marty McFly chicken as I just pop!
