Well I have had the most wonderful evening with my mother about my being trans. I had previously told her I was trans and thought she had understood even though the conversation was quickly ended but recently I had noticed a few commments which made it clear she hadn't really understoood what being trans was at all. She seemed to think it was some sort of sexual fetish.
We have had an unexpected, unplanned heart to heart discussion tonight (the power of whisky!) and she now totally gets it and is fully supportive. I can't begin to describe how happy I am tonight. I even showed her a picture of the real me and she was gobsmacked! It really is something to have your mother say she thought you were really pretty!
This really was an accidental comming out the closet moment for me. Whilst coming out to my father is still a no go for me it is so wonderful to have my mum (my best friend) to be fully supportive of me.
I realise most girls on here have been though moments like this in one way or another but I am still reeling from it! I can sleep happy tonight! ha ha!
