I finially told my oldest daughter about my trans gender and was very worried, and apperantly for no reasons, she seems to be alright thus far. I've invited her to my conunselors appointment on Wensday afternoon ands I think she is going to go. We are both worried about my wife as she has told me that if I told my daughter she would not go to her wedding in May. Daughter said she can go and sit next to you and smile and nobody will know anything or she can not go and have everybody know something is wrong.

I am thankful to have raised two opened minded daughters, who believe in freedom to be yourself. I am also thankful all the support that I have received her on Susan's that I was able to tell them.

Huggs to all for support.

Congratulations for being such a great parent that your girls are caring enough and open minded enough to accept you.

As Ms. Grace said - Good job on raising your daughter!  :)

My own two daughters accepted my news pretty well too. It seems like the younger generation is more enlightened than older generations.

So good to hear!

I recently told my own adult children, a 20 yo daughter and 22 yo son, what is up with me. I told each of then separately a few weeks apart. Both were immediately supportive, seemingly without reservation. They both accompanied me (seperately) to a therapist session, not so much for concerns they have but just to meet who I have been working with and be supportive with my transition.

My wife had reservations about telling my daughter when I did because she has been seeing a guy she is all gaga over for about four months and my wife was afraid this would drive him off (he is a welder in a shipyard building nuclear submarines). I told my daughter anyway. After I told her we went to a restaurant for lunch and talked about things. I mentioned to her my wife's concern about her bf and my daughters response was "if he doesn't like something about my family I'll dump him, my family is much more important than some guy"!

That evening my daughter told her bf about what is going on. She later told my wife that as they discussed it her bf was cool with it and was even referring to me as she and her!!

Perhaps we raised them properly and/or it's a generational thing but my kids are awesome.
