Alright, I thought I would start this topic with my coming out story to my grandparents and uncles. Everything went suprisingly well, expecially with my grandparents. My grandma told me that if this is how I felt, then that was how I felt and that she could not change that and that she would be supportive. My granfpa, uff, I think I will start by telling you that he is a stubborn old man and everything that does not fit inti his perfect little box it does not exist, but to my surprise he was pretty cool with it. He told me that everyone needs their feathers to fly, and if this was mine then I should go for it. I sat there baffled with my mouth gaping wide when he said that.
My uncle on my moms side told me that home is where the heart is, and my uncle on my dads side tried his best to use male prounounces after I told him :)
Then comes another story, the other day I sat at a coffee house, just drinking coffee and doodling with a pen into my sketch book and this older man approuches mr and asks if he can have a look through my sketch book and I notice through the conversation he uses gender neutral pronounces when talking to me, and after a whie he tells me his name and then I tell him mine. After that, he uses nothing but male pronounces. It turns out he is a graphic designer abd he wants to perhaps work with me in the future on a project :D
Then last night I was offered a four day full payed free trip to Malta next week, they wanted to take one of the new members of the trans commity with them :) Well, I will not be going there on vacation, but as a member of the trans committy but I feel a bit honored to be asked :)

I woulf like to apologize for all the spelling errors, Im typing all this up on my phone

that's awesome man. It's cool that your family was so supportive. And I am totally jealous of the graphic designer looking through your sketch book and being so cool about your gender.
