 Well its been a while since I been on here, I have had a lot of therapy sessions, came out to my wife's family, came out to mine, started hrt, and I work way to much.... Anyway, I came out to everybody, and the reactions from my wife's fam was pretty decent, they said they love me and support me. My parents kinda acted like a relative died but they said if I need help to get it and even pay for some of my expenses with therapy and meds when I need it. But I can tell there not on team trans still, I wrote a long winded email to them explaining the science behind it, referenced medical journals neurological studies, and all the above, explained that I have felt that way since early child hood, all the normal stuff. But they still just don't understand it. I guess I haven't been dis owned....yet, we will have to see how it goes as I am losing a lot of weight and the changes aren't notice able yet. Anyway I was hoping that this could encourage people that are were I was at, which was thinking I couldn't transition because I would lose my family, or I couldn't pass or several different things, Well just be honest and open to the ones you love. Give them a chance to have a reasonable reaction. They might surprise you. Once you have made the step to come out its a little easier on the other side of that. Above all keep your head up and never give up, never surrender. Its never to late to be happy!

Hi Christyjade. It is a lot for them to digest but give them time and answer any questions that they ask. Congratulations to you on transitioning

Thank you! I am excited but scared as hell now, I wasn't expecting to transition so now it's like its happening! Holy crap!

Congratulation on all the progress you have made. Transition is definitely outside a comfort zone so it is normal to have some fear.
