How did you know I have yellow bunny slippers. Are you spying on me? Dangerous thing to do to the Aussie Mafia

Ya this chick keeps a branding iron. Watch yourself, Jamie.

Gangland...bunnies?  *processes* 

I'll just heat up the branding iron shall I, Cindy?

Yes please Kelly, the kangaroo brand I think

To be forewarned is to be forearmed

I have a confession.  I own a pair of these:



They scare the dog.

Cindy, you grab Jamie, I'll apply the branding iron.. Left cheek or right?

I only feel the need for butt armor when I am around Aussies.
Hmmm 

Trixie honey we haven't in any way forgotten you, just welcome to the gang . You can chat away to all of us.  You can see that we are just normal people doing people stuff. I do know it seems very scary but to be honest, we are very normal people who like to laugh and joke and carry on just like friends do.
OK what is stopping you?  You are totally normal as well. There is nothing to be ashamed off. You are you.

So what is the problem? Why can't you discuss stuff with your parents? Is there a school counsellor who you can talk too?

We are here for you hon, even though we have had a few laughs along the way.

So a few more post please.

Hugs

Cindy

My apologies to the OP, Trixie.

This sometimes happens if I am awake too late (it's nearly 3:00 a.m. here)...

or when Cindy has been hitting the sauce. 

Looks like I'm not the the one who screwed up this time!

Don't always lead with your heart; but always keep the door to your heart opened sweetie.

Not always.. What shocked my family is not that I came out as trans, but that it had taken me so long.. My friends all reacted in much the same way. We don't always hide it as well as we think we do...

I get a lot of this, too. I've not come out to my family yet, but the friends I have come out to have been pretty underwhelmed. I think my favorite response to coming out was the friend who asked, "And this is supposed to change our friendship how, exactly?" and proceeded to address me by my preferred name and pronouns as if she had always known me as being female.

Then there is the friend who guessed before being told, even while I was still presenting 24/7 as male. She just asked my wife out of the blue one day,"So, um, is your husband a girl?" She's always been unusually perceptive. It really shook me up for a while, though. I went through a period of thinking everyone who looked at me could see through my disguise and was thinking I was a liar and a freak. I eventually got over that, mostly.

When I came out to my minister, she revealed that she had been thinking for a while that I might be FTM, so the surprise was really only that I'm actually the opposite.

That said,the most closed-minded people I know happen to be related to me, so I haven't really met my biggest challenges yet.
