Hello,

My name is Thomas. I'm 36, and I've just started my transition. Kind of. In actuality, I've been living as a man off an on for the last 15 years, but only recently decided to just go for it. I've told my friends, family, and some of my coworkers. Got rid of all the girl clothes, changed my name, and I'm working on getting a reference to the local gender clinic so that I can start T. I just couldn't continue to live my life the way that I was, and I'm already feeling much better. Except for my mother. Her reaction was horrible and I don't really know how best to deal with that. It appears that she thinks yelling at me enough and crying will be enough to get me to change my mind. So far she just won't accept it. Maybe given enough time ...

Well, enough grumbling. I look forward to being a member of this online community.

Thomas

Well congratulations

Welcome to Susan's Place. Both my parents were slow to accept me and my father never did. With my mother it was mostly time and waiting her out. I currently work with her and the mis gendering and male name have been gone for a long time and today she referred to me as one of her daughters without thinking about it. Hopefully your mother will come around a bit faster than mine did as she sees the improvement in your happiness as you move through treatment.
