well i think im getting ready to tell my mom ima girl. lol i kinda wanna get it over with, so i could actually start transitioning. im getting a little anxious for it. i think she will be support of me. its not gunna be tonite lol like here real soon. but shes looking at me all whats wrong?! so its kinda to shut her up as well lol

iv been doing alot of girl things and its just slipping out. omg i keep using my girl voice! at work! home! crap crap crap! i dunno why?! its not even good!

lol for a couple of months iv been sittin to pee and i thought that was just cuz of lazyness. but i did it today just to sit. and the other day i was in walmart, i stopped and looked at the clothes all :O lol i never stopped before! iv passed by looking but never stopped! i got all happy!

i even started to think what its gunna be like with a guy :) i havent done that before either. thats new.. i even thought of learning to dance! i mean its like all of a sudden "kayla" is popping out. everythings hitting me all at once. yesterday was sorta hard. i couldnt sleep at all. or really nite before that. and im just tired so im gunna quit writing and hugs to all kk :)

Well, coming out is always "fun," isn't it? I was terrified and ready to be disowned, but I was tired of waiting to be able to transition, so I had to. I regret that I had to let my desire to transition overwhelm the fear of coming out before taking action, though... I could have had my life so much sooner. (Oh well, eh? No use worrying about things long passed.)

I hope that you won't have to have that regret, and I wish you the best of luck with it  :)

I'm not sure if this would work, but when I get anxious/fearful these days, I try to enjoy the exhileration and feeling of the fear, rather than let it paralyze me. That was tricky to learn, but it can help a lot. And when I can't do that, I take the foolhardy approach and "Do what needs doing now, worry about the consequences later!" If I think that's necessary anyway. And if coming out is what you need to start transitioning, then I would say do whatever you can to overcome that fear.

Because letting fear prevent you from changing your life always ends up being the biggest kind of regret.

i dont think im coming out tonite moms on this quilt trip so ill hold off. and then she breaks my labtop! so its not the perfect nite. im very close tho. pretty soon :D 

im a big baby! lol all nite i was dreaming, trying to tell my mom. and i couldnt even do it in my dreams! pffft what a little girl.... well i wish! lol anyways hugs to all, out to work...

I DID IT! i told my mom about me! she took it well. and wow i slept better last nite. i even over slept lol so late to work. but im finally happy :) glad its over with too.

Congrats, having family support is VERY important.

Glad you could do it.  Hopefully you were able to do it sober...

The thing happens to me! but am scared of coming out i know she would support me but still im scared. haha

well i havent been much of a boy ever since i was very young, so my parents weren't too surprised when i sat down to talk to them abt my inner feelings and why i've always rejected suggestions of doing masculine activities to toughen myself up. there were several times when i dropped hints to my mom when we go to the mall, like commenting on how pretty this skirt or dress was when i followed her arnd at the ladies section. my dad had even caught me practising in my girlish voice a couple of times when he was wondering why on earth would there be a girl in my own room.

i think dropping them enough hints is important, but it would be better if you see how they respond to your hints before you decide on coming out to them proper. for me it wasn't difficult since my parents were fairly openminded folks and i had a cousin who happened to be transgendered (ftm) as well.
