I've had a very complicated day. In the last twenty-four hours, I've fully come out my mom (I'd laid groundwork before), come out to my dad, and had my wife tell her mom and confirm my son's suspicions.
My parents have been wonderful. They've said only the right things and they've asked good questions. My father's only sorry note is that I didn't discuss it years ago. Wow.
My mother-in-law not only accepts my being trans, but supports her daughter in trying to make things work. From what my wife reports, her mother reinforced with her the medical necessity of transition and stressed that she should be supportive of me. Wow.
My son overheard enough last night to have his suspicions confirmed. He had already figured things out. I hinted back in July and, evidently, he got the message. Reportedly, his major sadness is that I didn't have access to HRT before puberty, as that would have made my life easier. Wow.

Now that I'm out and referred for endo, it feels like the ball is rolling at breakneck speed!

Complicate? I think that's a huge understatement.
Epic day might be better.
That took much courage and now it is done and out to all.
Seems that it could not have gone much better for you and now there is nothing to hide with the people that matter most to you.
Well done
Need a doomsday device to celebrate?

I feel like I've just successfully invaded Normandy.
What do you think, Jenny, time to disarm the death ray?

Perhaps change the setting to stun!
I still like the death ray though. Especially for Zapp.
Just think, what you did is a once in a life time day!
You never will have to do it again.
Well done, I think you've earned it.
