Normally, in the real world, I am not shy about my preferences. I have dressed in what is considered male specific clothing since I was in middle school. But when I finally came out to my parents I was terrified.
For a while my mother thought that I was just confused or making a hasty decision, but as I gathered more information and talked it over with her she realized that this is happening, whether she decided to support me or not.
I count myself as very lucky that both my mother and my step-father have accepted me, are willing to help me, and to support me in this. My little sister told me that she "knew all along" and was "waiting for me to notice it" myself. lol
That being said I am going to my first meeting at the Transgender clinic in Vancouver during the second week of December, which is just the medical consultation, and even though my family is with me; I am still nervous.
I just wanted to talk to someone who has already gone through this to assuage some of my fears. My primary fear being doctors, nurses, and needles. lol
