I haven't come out yet and no one knows my true identity this is especially true of my wife and son.
A few days ago I thought it would be nice to sit and watch a film with my son and it just so happened that "the worlds fastest Indian" was on the TV with Anthony Hopkins staring in it.
I thought it would be a nice film to watch with him about an old man who wants to break the land speed record on his motorbike.
It was all going well until Anthony met Tina, the ->-bleeped-<- motel clerk.
At this point my 9 year old son started ridiculing Tina and started to laugh and ask why a man was dressed as a women. I explained why as best I could of course but I could see by his face that he didn't approve in the slightest.
This knocked me clean off my feet, to think that one day he would be laughing at me like that too. I struggled with this thought for a while but I'm ok now.
This led me to think what events have just taken your breath away and taken you of guard.

I expected a particular long time female friend to be less than accepting of my transition...in fact when I told her she said "sweetie, I've always know!" and has been great and supportive. Gotta say I was pretty stunned by that.

I think the funniest moments i have had.  Was when i told a friend I'm trans, and she looks at me like I'm making it up.  She just didn't believe me.  Which was kinda funny in the fact that I'm trying to prove I'm trans after transitioning.  that's the biggest one that stands out to me.

I find younger children come across more hurtful then they mean to be.  I know my niece says things that kinda make me go "What did you say!?!?".  i can't be mad at her though she is young and doesn't understand the full meaning behind her comments and she isn't trying to be hurtful at all.  I'm sure if you where to sit down with your son you could explain things a little better and try to relate to him to gain some understanding.  Unfortunately there is no way to force him to except you and i could not imagine having one of my parents coming out as trans that would be a big deal.  you have to remember that he has known you his whole life as Dad and trying to change that is going to take a lot of patience and it may not ever come.  I don't think there is any good way to deal with this.

The good:  Every time my wife hugs me and says, "I love you no matter what."  And she goes with me to group on family night every month.

The bad:  Last year, I held what has become a roughly annual meeting of the same five guys I hung out with all through high school and weekends until the end of college.  One of them cracked a joke about Caitlyn Jenner (deadnamed her as a matter of fact).  Later my wife said, "You can't come out to those guys."  More recently another one of them came out on the wrong side of the bathroom debate on Facebook.  Sigh.  It is what it is.

I lost the love of my first wife because I could not stop dressing. I did everything I could to sabotage our marriage  I succeeded. 37 years later I'm discussing hrt with my Drs. God's a funny guy.
