finally...

[Cissy Chiana]

...after 32 years of hiding deep in the denial closet I've finally told my parents I'm transgendered and that my ultimate goal is to transition into a woman. I've lived into complete fear of rejection for so long I couldn't remember what a normal life was anymore, now I don't have to lie and decieve the people I love most & hold dearest to me in the world. They're still in a bit of a state of shock but they're very supportive and accepting of me and they kind of realise that things won't be easy for me with all the prejudice and intolerence in the world against all members of the T community but it's a huge step for me, one that's help me back for so long, now I can finally start to become outside the woman I am and have always been inside.

Hi Cissy,
Good for you. That first step is always the biggest. You know from this site that you are not alone. Everyone here would give you a big hug and say," You go girl!" Good luck from one of your many sisters. Leanne

thanks so much for your kind words of support :) I'm like WOW! this morning, like I'm floating on air because I'm one step closer (finally) to transitioning and also majorly worried now about the journey ahead of me, however I know in my head (if not my heart yet) that each small little step is part of the journey and I reckon that by taking it one step at a time then it'll be easier than rushing ahead and doing things I'm not ready to do and mess things up for myself, of course I'll need the right twenty or so pairs of shoes for that, people say that you can't run in heels (although Scully in the X files does a good job), maybe this is to help us ;) Now I'm just rambling randomly so I'll stop

love & hugs
Cissy

One step at a time is the way to go, just be sure to enjoy the scenery along the way, and I wish you the best of luck!

I am so happy for you Cissy. I don't think anything can compare to the feeling you get once you are liberated.

Congrats Cissy, coming out to your parents takes a lot of courage and to get their acceptance is a huge boost. I am peased for you that they have stood by you, as mine did. :hugs:

My brother and sister in law both know too, in fact my bro was like 'why didn't you tell me this years ago' and stuff and is really uber-supportive and I can't love him enough for it :)
