Title: Nervous About Seeing My Grandma 1st Time In Person Since Coming Out
Post by: xAndrewx on October 20, 2010, 05:30:58 AM
Haven't slept yet and about to leave in an hour to go to the airport and meet her. I'm terrified... Haven't seen her in two years and I came out to her on the phone less than a year ago. I haven't slept yet so my thoughts are jumbled. I'm just nervous because she's homophobic and she's trying not to be transphobic but I'm pretty sure it will be a day of confused pronouns and lots of outing me. I'm praying it goes well but I'll post how it went tonight. Wish me luck?

Good luck!

Some folks reappraise their homo- or trans-phobia when it's on a personal level.

thanks everyone :)  I'm a little less nervous.  Lilacwoman thanks I just realized I'm letting my nerves override my confidence which will look bad to her. As though I'm unsure about being a man and not just worried about seeing her.
