So... That happened.
So, I came out with my mom, she doesn't really care about me being trans provided I preserve my reproductive capabilities in some form (childishly easy with male gametes), but also seeks bonus points on me finding someone who I can biologically reproduce with that is "worthy", thus she is less than thrilled by egg donations and surrogates, though she admits that's purely an engineering and incentives problem. Fortunately, I'm pretty comfortably bisexual so it's kind of a coin toss as to whether I'll end up with someone with access to female gametes, not that, and I have been very explicit about this, I would torpedo any relationship where my partner did not have access to female gametes, which Mom fully realizes is an honorable train of thought and accepts.
Okay, so I think you can see that she and I have a somewhat odd relationship. I love her a bunch, but she has very specific utilitarian priorities. Fortunately if you can handle honesty she's very easy to talk to. Even if she is rooting for me to become a lesbian...
And when I was at work I quasi came out when I let it slip that I shaved my beard out of gender dysphoria (I was really tired).
We talked about it for 5 seconds and then went back to doing science.
Science is more interesting than me... YAY!
