I met this girl online about 3 years ago and we talked maybe once a month and one night we stayed up till like 2am talking and just hit it off and we ended up dating long distance I know crazy but we talked all the time and got so close to the point we knew eachother better than anyone but she always knew me as Jason a boy and I know that really I am a boy just I don't have the body so after being with her for 2 and a half years I finally told her I have GID and she accepts it...it's weird for her and she hates that she'd never be able to have kids with me but she still loves me. And as you know my mom considers me a girl and says that is what I am and I wish she would see that I'm not but she's now ok with me talking to this girl since I told her the truth about me and my moms talking about letting her come out here and stay with us for awhile with her mom if she wants but her moms gonna wanna talk to my mom and my mom wont say I'm a boy she wont even call me Jack and that bothers me cause I don't like it but then her mom probably won't let her see me cause she may not understand GID either so she'll think I'm just some kinda freak and then I won't be able to see her...ever. I don't know what to do....

Well one thing is for sure Jack and that is your GF's mom is going to find out sooner or later about your GID, and how do you think she will react finding out that way.  Personally I believe in honesty and openness, yes it's going to hurt along  the way but if those who you are truthfull with really care then they will still be there for you afterwards no matter what.

You can't make assumptions on how peeps will react because they will suprise you... I thought my daughter would be ok with my GID, but she wasn't and I thought another GF would hate me but she didn't, go figure.  What's the worst that can happen?  So your GF's mom doesn't understand GID, does that mean she won't let you see her daughter, maybe, maybe not.

My advice... Be honest and upfront, it will pay off in the end.

Jack,
    O.K. I think I got it. First off, I don't think it is a good idea to have them come and spend time with you and your mom at your house. Here's why. Your'e right, your mom will continue to call you your female name and "she" and "her" in front of your girlfriend, and that will make you mad.

Does she live far from you? I just can't see the benifit of two mothers being involved with your male identity.

She lives in PA, would it be better if I just went to her house?
What should I do?

Jack,
   I think that if you are too young to drive and she is too far away you will have to involve your mom getting you there, I personally would keep things going on line until you can drive to her. She lives in another state? If so, that is tough to keep a relationship going. If your mom is willing to take you there so you guys can spend a little time together, but that seems like a stretch to me.

Jack,

If you are underage, I strongly recommend that both mothers be involved.  It hurts and it sucks, but Jack, this is an unusual situation.  Without the involvement of both parents, there are way to many problems that could pop there heads.  You don't want those kinds of things messing up your life.  The world does not understand us.  That is why we need to be so careful.

I totally agree with Cindy....

You need to be open and honest from an early stage. Once Mothers get involved, Fathers get involved then it becomes more difficult.

Don't do anything that can have repercussions for you (or your family).

Love will always find a way, if it is meant to be.... better to have broken dreams now than a broken heart later on.

Oh my, I hate to be the wet blanket and the grammar nazi and all... But I really find it <i>very</i> difficult to understand what it is you're trying to say. I don't want to insult you or anything, and I want to help, but it might help me to help you if you break down that post into some sentences and stuff. It's just very difficult for me when the whole paragraph is one sentence -- I don't really get what's going on. Who's what, where it went, why it happened and who's mother?

From what I do understand is you're involved in a long distance relationship with a girl who's just recently come to be aware of your transsexuality. You want to spend time with her and the notion was mentioned, but cross-referencing will be needed between parents, and that would be bad because your mother still refers to you as female which is embarrassing for you...? Have I got that mostly right?

From a veteran of several long distance relationships that lasted years at a time, (The first one was two years, the latter was almost four) I can tell you that you should leap on any chance you get to see your significant other.
I never got to see either of those two people, and even though I don't call them lovers anymore they certainly are still prominent people in my life. I've never met them in person, and it still hurts sometimes.
You may need to swallow your pride in that circumstance so that you can see your girlfriend.
