that's very encouraging Kristy:) I haven't mentioned anything to my sister yet, and am kinda dreading it. She did help me move to a new apartment over the weekend, and noticed a lighted makeup mirror, some wild nail decals I got from Amazon, (which I nervously claimed no knowledge of..but she did laughingly ask me if I was a crossdresser) I had also mentioned to her earlier that I had a transgendered friend on facebook, and talked about an assessment I took once that showed me as being highly androgynous. She just repeated what she had said weeks earlier when I brought up Kaitlyn Jenner in conversation.. "to each, their own" So perhaps my coming out will not be the bad experience I am so concerned about.
I feel very happy for you Kristy!
