So I went to my second therapy session yesterday and told my therapist I wanted to go ahead and start HRT as soon as possible. She said she'll have my letter next session, this upcoming Sunday...Which means all I have to do is find a doctor and start the process.
I was so excited leaving therapy, and I've really been wanting to tell my mother, but I couldn't think of the right time...Though it just got so overwhelming yesterday I couldn't hold back. I called her on face time and asked to speak to her alone...She was so accepting and awesome that I ugly cried and since she has sent me myriad of names all day today. While I knew she wouldn't completely cut me off and she wouldn't be hateful, I expected her to be super weird and not very understanding, I did not expect the full level of acceptance that I received and I am so eternally grateful for that.
Not only do I feel better having it off my chest, I feel better knowing that my parents could literally care less what or who I am or who I'm with....They just want me to be happy.
I still haven't told my grandmother, but I think that's something I am going to discuss with my mother first, and probably have my mother there for. I might also find some some good education pamphlets and compile her a little packet with bible verses that tell her to basically love me and accept me anyway. She's going to be upset, but whatever......
So minus coming out to work, which I am still working on a method, and telling my grandmother...I am pretty much OUT! No more hiding. I can be me to my hearts content and WOW....it's liberating!
Congratulations. Glad everything has worked out so far.
Congratulations! What a relief to have that support! You chose your mother well. :)

Apparently when the doctor asked her what she wanted, a boy or a girl, she said both.....And he said be careful what you wish for....So, I think she kind of saw it coming.
Congratulations Mac. That's wonderful.

Wonderful news dude! I think that your mother is amazingly special and the same is true for you. Welcome to the house of change. Your room is all prepared and I think that you'll like the view. (Both is best ;) )
Congratulations again,
JB

Nice one
It is so great when you get unexpected support and even better when it is from someone close...
congratulations
Congratulations, dude! You and I are almost running in parallel. I'm not yet out at work ( I'm waiting for T to start and have an effect), and have an appointment for my first T shot this coming Monday.
Exciting times of morphing into who we really were meant to be.

We are aren't we???
That's pretty much my plan....Waiting to see when someone notices. No one has said anything about me wearing buttons downs and ties, so I honestly don't expect them to even notice. xD;
My appointment isn't until the 16th, but that's due to money issues. If I had the money I'd be going this upcoming weekend.
Congrats and all the best luck with yours!!
Congrats!!
Congrats Steven!
