God that was scary and stressful...
She said she still loves me, but I think part of her is in denial about the whole thing. She's VERY against top surgery and kept calling it "mutilating myself". Also said she wouldn't call me Adam, but I kind of expected that one. She did lighten the mood a bit by telling me that my fashion sense was probably the worst thing about it.
She said I can't tell my dad yet because he's under stress about the holidays and other things, but I told her he would have to find out at some point...
I'm not really sure what to do now. Like, what does one do after they come out to their parent and they take it sort of well, but still don't like it?

they give them time to completely accept it ...
thats what I did with my mom, at first she was in denial and against it , now after one year she totally supports me...
it needs time if the person is willing to learn :)
well done btw
