I have my mother's laugh...

Since I came out to myself a few months ago and "unbuttoned my lip and let the shield slip" per se (Amber Roskamp, that reference is for you)... My 'feminine self' has made a new resurgence and I've noticed a few things...

Including now when I laugh... I sound like my mother. I have two brothers, and no sisters (had I one, I think my GD might have triggered earlier in life...)

In all likelihood, I assume if I had a sister she would have already had similar traits to my mother. Now that I'm going down this womanly rabbit hole... I'm discovering that I have had these traits all along, but I buried them. Now that I've let my guard down on such things, it's been weird and crazy to go down this rabbit hole to discover my mother in me? And be open to it? Rather than avoid it, I'm beginning to embrace this 'new found glory'...

Any of you discover new facets of your parents in your transition? A smile, laugh, attitude, etc...?

My laugh definitely changed as soon as I was able to acknowledge I was trans.

Well according to family I just recently visited. My cousin just graduated high school.
Is that I resemble a lot of my father's features, and my brother resembles a lot like my mom. Not exactly sure where I was going with this, but I'm pretty sure I was supposed to be leading up to something.

Stay true to yourself no matter the consequence, for this is your life, your decision, your trust in which will shape your future. Believe in yourself, if you don't then no one will.
