Yup, just like the tittle says. I'm 1 week on T, my voice has dropped, and my parents don't know. What to do?
I told my mother that I was planning on moving out after the holidays. She had no comment, honestly I don't think she wants me to go anywhere, but again I think I might just have to anyway after she finds out I'm on T and transitioning. The good thing is that my job knows and are happy for me because they see me as happy. The were prepared for the changes that would take place. Now, my family is another story. My family is not so hip on LGBTQ issues. One parent always says the "F" word when referring to gay people. The other day while watching TV, a transsexual woman came on and outed herself. My parent (one of them not both) response was that the transsexual woman was still a man in their eyes no matter how much surgery she had. That response made it very clear to me that my coming out as a transguy was going to be very difficult. I was planning on moving out in about 2-3 months and was hoping that my voice wouldn't drop so quickly. But it has. I'm ecstatic! But, at the same time I have to be very cautious. I must limit my time at home, thank goodness I work the 3rd shift and while I am home resting, they are out work. I guess if I hope to save up for enough to move and for surgery I must not see my family too often. Sucks, but for now I think this is my plan. I will play the I'm sick so my voice sounds funny thing. Does anyone have any tips or any advice to help me through this?
