So I just wanted to share and I guess this is the place to do it. My son has been out for a couple of years as trans and we have gotten super close like when he was a kid after a turbulent pre puberty period. So my son coming out has made me take a look at myself and today I finally said out loud what I have kept buried since I was a teenager(I'm 38 now) I am a Lesbian! :) So my son was the first person I told and he looked at me and exclaimed, "YES! My family is so queer!!" I am super excited to be able to be who I am and my 16 yr old gave me excellent advice on how to come out to the rest of the family. I am so proud to be his mom!

Thank you so much! It feels so good to embrace who I am and I have my son to thank for giving me the courage to do it. He is the bravest and confident kid I know.

Wow! Congratulations! This must be so liberating for you. Add to that that you and your son are now sharing so much more of a story! So much fun if you can take advice from your kid.

Welcome to a unique little group of people. My son started her transition 5 yrs ago and had bottom surgery 3 yrs ago. I came out to her the first of the year and have been full time since the beginning of March. It is great having such a different relationship now and being able to
