My mom told me...

[Marvel]

My mom just asked if "we should get you a sex change because you act more like a boy then a girl." How do I respond to that? Part of me wants to come out but the other part is too scared to move. I don't know anymore. 

just reply with a sarcastic comment, in a half joking half serious way like "hey maybe we should get me a sex change"

My mom said something to me like this before. This is an opportunity presenting itself, if you are not good with the confessing stuff, this maybe a conversation starter. its up to you of course.

You guys are right. I'm going to tell her tomorrow. That way I can tell my parents at different times. That just seems easier then telling them both at once. I'll let you guys know how it goes. Wish me luck.

Good luck   Let us know how it goes.

Brent: From what it sounds like, your mom is gonna be cool with you coming out.  If you don't think she'll disown you, then you really have nothing to lose by just telling her. And hell, that will open a whole discussion FULL of education and answers if she has an inquisitive mind!  It was tough coming out to my mom but she just asked me lots of accusatory-sounding questions in a somewhat hostile manner and I kept educating and informing her as rationally and calmly as possible.  Sounds like you won't have that issue though.  Nonetheless, best of luck tomorrow!

I chickened out. I just couldn't say it. So I wrote a letter instead. I'm going to do it when my dad gets home though so I only have to do it once.

Good luck.
We are here for you regardless of how it goes.

Sometimes it's better to write out what is harder to physically say.  I have my reservations about writing stuff though but I'll spare my thoughts on that for now until I know the outcome of tonight for you.

Either way, my fingers are crossed!

Wow, I cannot express in words how lucky you are to have a mom like that, Brent. My mom is the most antagonistic family member about my ->-bleeped-<- and threatened to disown me (on top of already transpiring physical/verbal abuse) if I wasn't her "daughter" when I was fully honest about how I felt.

In any case I can perfectly understand your nervousness. Wishing the best for you and your family's reactions, and I hope they are fully supportive of you. I'm glad you're putting forth the efforts to come out; It takes a lot of courage! A letter is a good way to put your thoughts and feelings into words without the pressure of "being in the moment", so don't think of it as chickening out.
