I've been living at home, going to college near where I live.
My mom is the only one who knows I CD - and accepts it.
She found out that I have been purchasing some clothes on my many excursions up and across the county by train in the last month.
What does she do?
Tell me to throw some of it away?
Chastise me 24/7 for being financially irresponsible?
Nope.
Gives me a large box to keep it all in, solid black, non-translucent sides.
It feels good to have an accepting parent to help me out.
AW! That is so sweet of her! I wonder what makes moms seem to be able to accept things a little more than others. (I know thats not always the case).
I havent come out to my family in any way, not sure I ever will. BUT I only hope that if i get found out that I get similar reactions.
Congratulations to your Mom for being so understanding. Now the key to future success is to talk to her and keep her informed. Not with all the details but with your feelings toward it, coming out to your Dad or other family members, and your appreciation for her support. The other important thing is to not violate her trust and bring your problems and issues to or upon her, unless you are specifically requesting her support.
I'm very happy for you that your mom accepts you for who you are.
Thats awesome.
I'd have loved to haave had acceptance and dignity like that at home. Guess I'll never know if I could have had it.
Keeping it behind closed doors will do that I guess.
Tell your mum she's alright in my book!

That's wonderful!

Hi ..
so lovely to hear .
...noeleena...
That's one cool mum! You're very lucky
You're one lucky girl,Kickin' Crosser. I'm glad for you
You have a great mom.
The only limitation imposed is that the quantity of clothes is not to exceed the capacity of this box... which is good for me since I'm fighting the proverbial "pink fog" effect, BUT at the same time problematic, since I'm getting rid of one puffy coat [doesn't fit right, not liking the material/color], but that increases the capacity exponentially.
Limitation or not, that was very sweet and understanding of your mom. As far as the space issue goes I bet you could fit a lot of miniskirts in there so its not all so bad
When I was in my teens, I almost got caught by my parents. I'm sure they would have had me committed. Thankfully, I got all of my clothes hidden, but did not get my [I]special[I] magazines put up in time. They put me into counseling over some silly mags! Can you imagine if they had found my clothes?

Great news for you and congrats to mom for being accepting.Yay MOM
Put a little lipstick on you'll feel better
I am glad your mom accept your CDing. When I told my mom and family she hated it for 17 years until last year when she finally excepted it and we have even gone out shopping and Christina had her first Christmas . She gave me makeup and stuff she has not been able to give to my sister cuz My sister is gay and a big tom boy. She found it strange to write on the tags To Christina , she said " the prob is I don't have a daughter named Christina. "
We had a good laugh and I love the fact she has come so far even though it took 17 years. Oh I told my family at age 21. I was still living at home and did not go out dressed out in public until 2008 Aug 9th. So feel lucky that she is ok with it but don't push it let her get used to it and slowly spoon feed her a little at a time. If you push her you might just make her take a 180 and forbid you to dress or buy clothes witch will be worse then being limited to one tote. Have fun and hug your mom for all of us hun.

I wish my mom was that supportive , she found and threw out several of my stashes when I lived at home , she never said anything after the first time she just made everything disappear !

I wish I could tell my mum. My late father would have killed me, if he knew, but I think mum would be ok if the shock didn't kill her first. Mother inlaw 'may' be ok after the initial shock but father in law would run a mile, or kill me. Daughter knows some detail but to what extend I don't know. Her husband is a very conservative teacher at a religeous school. So he would cut me off the christmas list,
So just my wife supports me, nice, very nice, but I wish I could be what I am all the time and not have to hide who and what I am.
Funny thing the person you think will be fine with it could be the person whom hates it the most and vice versea. Like in my case. When I told my family I KNEW my mom would be ok with it and my Dad would hate it. Well guess what my mom was the one who hated it to the extreme and my dad was ok with it. So you never know who will be ok with it.I wish I could tell my mum. My late father would have killed me, if he knew, but I think mum would be ok if the shock didn't kill her first.

That is cool wish my mom would have reacted the same way when she cought me
Best. Mom. Ever.
oh oh... I hope the box doesn't disappear once you put everything in it! Joking. Perhaps the limit is to help you avoid spending too much on your shopping trips.
Girlfriend, you better remember her birthday, anniversary, how special she is when Valentines Day and Crhistmas roll around.

Being transgender isn't a lifestyle choice. How you deal with it is.
It is soooo fantastic that your sweet Mom accepts your CD side! Always communicate with her and thank her for understanding. Ask her questions about makeup tips, hairstyles, buying cute outfits, shopping, and doing those special things that a Mother and "daughter" like doing together. Thanx for sharing.
Wow, that's amazing!
I think my mum might know already... I'm not 100% sure, but I think she's found fake tan and a box from asos that listen what had been in it - high heels, dresses etc. So no proof, but she must suspect something. I she knows I dressed up when I was 4/5, but thought it was a 'faze'.
