I had the courage to finally come out to my Aunt as transgender, I told her how I really feel about myself and she said that accepts me as I am, not for my identity but as a person and said that she will always see me as her child. I cried a bit though... 🤣

I am so happy that I wanted to share the news😄. She also said that she doesn't have a problem if I have Hrt and I she is going to call a therapist for me.

Congratulations, Rafaelle! Coming out to anyone is a tough thing to do, but then finding acceptance and support is a fantastic reward.
I am happy to read that this went well for you.

Hi Rafaelle. That is awesome that you came out to her! I'm sure you felt super liberated and relieved after you did. I actually came out to my Aunt as well a few months back. Sadly my mother and I don't have the best relationship so telling my Aunt was the closest thing to telling a mother. She was totally cold with it and very supportive. She's a clothes fanatic and gave me tons of her stuff the same day I came out to her! :) Best of luck to you with all your future endeavors!

Yeah, she said, that was the thing that made you depressed and stressed so long? You've should've told me about it a long time ago, it would be much easier on you. I freaking love her :D
