Brian was supposed to come visit us next month but my dad talked to him tonight and he wants to come this weekend. I guess he's anxious to meet his father. I will let you all know how it goes.

I can understand nerves getting to him. When I was planning my coming out message I had planned to post it on on National Coming Out Day. At some point I realized the stress of waiting was becoming too much of a burden and I decided to rip the band aid off right away.

I think it will be good for all of you. :)

If things go bad, just lock him up in the closet.

Then, when you let him out, you can tell everyone he just came out of the closet!

Not even my brother, and I'm giddy with excitement!  Probably because there is bound to be a story that shows up about it in the near future.
All the worlds a joke, and the people, merely punchlines

I met Brian and it went very well. He's really sweet. He didn't get scared away meeting us Lol. Though he was very defensive at first, Tyler liked him too. Tyler was concerned about Brian possibly being a Dick towards me and had made the comment that he better not say anything mean or inappropriate to me. He didn't at all. He wasn't shocked over my albinism and didn't stare or anything. The only thing he was curious about was how Tyler wasn't born albino as well but after I explained the 50% chance that he could have been he didn't say anything else about it. Since he's family I decided to just tell him Im trans and get it out of the way. He got quiet and then said if that's what I needed to do to be happy then that was fine with him. He asked when I planned to start hormones and I told him I had been on hrt for 3 years. Then he looked totally confused. I didn't understand why but my dad got it. He told Brian I was male to female. He thought I was going to be FtM. Lol!  So then he had a lot of questions but they were all respectful. He didn't seem to have any problems with me being trans. The only comment he made was that I was very pretty and that he couldn't picture me having been a boy at all.

He told my dad he wasn't what he was expecting. He said he had an idea of him as looking older with the beginnings of a dad body. Lol. He asked my dad and Tyler if they lived at the gym and said they made him feel kind of inadequate and that he could picture them stuffing him in a locker back in high school. Lol. Brian is about 5'8 and he's just an average guy. Not skinny but not jacked either. He asked my dad if he had fed Tyler growth hormones and raw meat when he was growing up. Lol! I was glad to find out he has a good sense of humor.  His visit went very well I'm happy to report.

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Amazing!  I'm so happy for you.  You know you've made it when you tell people you are trans and they say "Why would you want to change, you're such a pretty girl..."

Yes he did. He looked a lot like my dad. He even has my dad's wavy hair. That's nice considering I got gypped with stick straight hair. Lol

Lol, Tristan, Tyler and my dad are all gym rats and all of them are jacked . Tristan is 6'5, Tyler is 6'4 and my dad is 6'2. Then there is Brian. He's only 5'8 and thin/average. He's handsome but he wears glasses and kind of has a nerd look going on. No wonder he felt a little inadequate. Lol. But its nice to have an average family member who doesn't tower over me. 😊
