My mom today, Im lucky very much.

I spoke on this here a week ago or so, my mom and dad would support my choice no matter what. Today was a sign of that support. My mom mentioned to me how I need to shave today. This being due to that I have not felt on the girl side for a few days. I told my mom how I still hate shaving and still want to laser it off. She told me I should take some of my money and go have it done sometime. She thinks deep down that just shave it and all but she also wants me to be happy and knows Im unhappy with facial hair at all including shaving it. She even has compared it to girls shaving their legs for example and all. She accepts me for me just like my dad did and still does in heaven since my dad passed last year.

My mom nor my family or anyone knows Im trans but if they knew they would never hate me, ignore me or disown me. I just wish more had moms and dads that loved you no matter what. Same with my hair, it was going long and like a girl. She accepted me and my hair even if she liked it short. I got it cut a bit and am growing it back out long and my mom would still accept me. The fact that I do and want things that would make me look more like a girl would NEVER turn either of my parents away at all.

If you can hate your kids for wanting to be themselves and expressing themselves, why did you have kids? Im thankful and sorry others dont have a mom and dad like I do.

So glad you have the support of your parents.

I was lucking in that fact, my entire family rallied around me and helped me move forward.

I am a parent and i feel and have always felt the same way with my children. Its about there happiness in life and i would support them in what every they needed to do or how they needed to live.

Hugs and give your parents a hug from me, they are truly loving parents.

It's nice to hear about supportive parents. I'm lucky, as well. I'm sure neither of them find the whole thing very comfortable, but I'm sure it's equally not surprising. My mom said I've always been a bit feminine. She even asked me curiously if I wanted to get "the surgery". I said that's something to think about a long time from now, but that I did want to get electrolysis. She also said we could go together to get our eyebrows done, and she gave me a pair of her jeans (Jessica Simpson brand, lol) that don't fit her anymore. Her main struggle is having to call me something other than "son", because that's what I've been to her for 33 years. She said, "I guess I can just call you sweetheart."

But, to those who do have relatives that aren't supportive (or worse): the way I see it is that family really has nothing to do with who you're related to. Real family isn't about blood, but about mutual love, respect and support. That's how we've treated anyone new who has come in through marriage whether a step-sibling, an elder, or any new offspring.

Anyone who serves as a hinderance to your progress or sanity is someone not worth your time or attention. Real love surpasses how we choose to identify; the rest is conditional and dismissible.

I could almost say the parents that are not accepting are being selfish kind of. For example, my sister is having another kid very soon. I want it to be a girl as Ive already got a nephew but if it's a boy, I aint gonna hate and disown the guy. 99% wouldnt so hows that different with a trans child?? Nothing in my view.

Well, if they are informed on the biological cause of trans identity and aren't accepting then it's definitely a selfish thing, but most aren't, and those are more likely to think you're mentally ill and/or choosing a lifestyle that is, to them, sinful, ethically wrong, and potentially unhealthy. To see their son transforming into a woman is about as equal to seeing them willingly injecting themselves with a cocktail of STDs and Satan. So, I think one of the first things anyone should do when coming out is to provide the scientific evidence of how the brain and body develop in different stages, and how in those stages there is the possibility of the wrong hormones interfering in development resulting in a female brain and male biology. If they see the evidence and still refuse to accept you then there is no doubt it being a matter of selfishness. A parent's love is supposed to be unconditional, but how often is that truly the case? Not often enough from what I've seen. It's a shame.
