I thought I would share this with you because it was quite nice...
So I got home from the local trans group tonight and my daughter is still up, usually I have a chance to change before reading her a bedtime story. But this time she caught me in my new jeggings.
'What's those?' she says pointing to me.
'what's what' I asked innocently.
'those' she said putting her finger on my jeggings'
'jeans' I replied
'are they yours?'
'yes, I think they might be a bit too tight though' I replied
'they look like mammy's jeans'
then before I could reply, 'they look really cool'
- keeping in mind I am not out to my daughter yet... but positive reaction - yeh!
Sadly spoiled with an unrelated big argument with my sister (not out to her either).
Oh well, at least this time the ups and downs of my emotions are not dysphoric.
@Alice (nym) A very sweet story.
What your daughter stated is so appropriate.... mammy's jeans !!!
Thank you for sharing your great moment that you had with your daughter with all of us.
Hugs,

Positive reactions from the people closest to us are always the best. Thank you for sharing.
I wore my mary jane flats in front of my 9yo son a few months ago and he said "who's shoes are they?" I said "uh they're my shoes" ...silence. Since then I have worn a few other things without any reaction. I did have a 'special' talk with him the other day to talk about me - which went very well.
Take care,
Sonja.
I bought a pair of these. I bought some tops as well. When I wear them both it will be the first time I go out totally en femme

I hope they're not too obvious.
I recently purchased two pair of Jeggings from Lane Bryant. Took me awhile in the dressing room to get the right size. The nice SA kept bring me pairs until we found a size that fit perfectly. They are so so so comfortable. I liked the response from your daughter. Positive feelings.

Jeggings are great! For me, they are the new tracksuit pants. I wear them around the house all the time, and out to the local corner shops without giving it a second thought. They are soooo comfortable.
Wearing them casually like this is laying solid groundwork for coming out to your daughter, and family.
Good luck!
