Title: Came out to my brother.
Post by: Amore34 on June 25, 2014, 03:16:38 PM
Prior to today I spoke with him last winter about gender dysphoria and starting therapy and he was really supportive back then.  Months passed and we never spoke of it, but today I wanted to finally tell him about my desire to transition.  I was soo stressed out, but I picked up the phone and gave him a call.

I always knew he was a very loving open minded brother, but I didn't think he respond so positively.  He's 100% supportive.  Laughed, cried, and spoke to him for hours.  I'm thankful to have such a loving brother.  Even offered me a place to stay and  to come stand by my side when I come out to my parents (he's 700 miles away!).  It's such a relief to finally come out and look forward to a better future.

Love life.
