im not trans myself so not sure im family i just my sis and uncle and im just here because this is not a shock but its new to me im not sure what to think thats why im here my sis says shes a man on hrt and evrything and my uncles been secretly liveing as a woman for the last 2 years
Hi bouncemasta, it's nice to meet you! I live near Boston. You'll make lots of friends here, and we understand the kinds of thoughts and feelings that you are likely experiencing. If you have any questions, just ask. Someone will try to help you. Hugs, Devlyn
thanks for the welcome i always though my sis was just a tom boy and my uncle now that is a shock and my older sis is a lesbian and this is all abit i dont really know the word am i the only one whos not gay or trans its i really dont know and i thought me and lil sis were close
and i always looked up to my uncle
Maybe it's time to make room for your brother and new aunt, then! Admire them, they're being true to themselves. Hugs, Devlyn
i know its just all really messing with my head why didnt my new bro as u put it tell my why did she try to kill herself she knows were not bigots in this family and i always told her evrything and as for my uncle i based my life off his
Well, a transgendered person sometimes has to work through a lot of stuff on their own first, with no one to turn to. Think how long that messed with them. Give yourself time to think it through. And accept them for who they are. That's all they are looking for. Hugs, Devlyn
i know ill call my former lil sis new bro now but they tried to kill themself when we were all there for him we wernt raised to look down on people we all do but i try not to and he must of known i had his back no matter what ok and maybe ill sound like a hypocrite here but im a man whos based his life off a man whos now a woman
They are still the people you knew. Just in a different package. And yes you are still family here. We always love having allies in our family.
Just because your 'uncle' is now your aunt, does not change you. You grew up to be a kind person.
Have you asked her when she began to identify as a woman? Talking about these things is the best way to move forward. Hugs, Devlyn
Hello and welcome to Susan's.
:)
thanks the site was playing up for a sec its late i need to go sleep
Hey bouncemasta, I know it's really hard when those you love have kept such a huge part of themselves undisclosed to you. But sometimes they haven't come to terms with who they really are yet, or they need time to think about things before they come to you. It doesn't mean that your relationship isn't as close as you thought, it just means they weren't ready to share yet. This forum is a great step in learning to support your sister and uncle so I'm so glad you're here. I am not trans either or even gay/lesbian, but my best friend who I've known since birth is. She is really the only sibling I've ever had (not biological, just by default as my family took her in while we were in high school after her family disowned her.) Anyway, it was a HUGE shock when the guy I thought was like a brother to me was actually a sister :) she started transitioning a year ago, and there's been ups and downs. All you can do is remember they are the same person you've always loved,the exterior may change but that's not why we love them! If you need anything please feel free to private message me. This forum is great & will help guide you & become fast friends with others here. Great to meet you & welcome.
thanks will do this stuffs still all buzzing round my head but i think im ok with it
