Well ladies I am out. Atleast to most of my family now. My mom and her husband have known for about a year now and I told my mother in law this spring. And of course my wife knows.
Well today I was a little grumpy about the way things were going and in male mode I am grumpy most of the time. Well I went to town with my grandmother and we were shopping for a blood pressure monitor for my mom. Well we found one and I tried it out and my BP was out of sight. After we bought it we were driving to lunch when she asked me why I was so uptight and stressed all the time. I proceeded to tell her it was partly because mom, her, and myself lived to close together. All living in different homes but all on the same 5 1/2 acres. And I tried to tell her that she expects me to do all for her all the time. Which in turn leaves nights for me to dress. And in doing this without trying to hurt her feelings I tried to describe the fight within me. Being a CD. Which I did not say for a while. Then it just popped out that I am transgendered. She looked at me like I was losing my head. I even got lost driving to lunch. She started asking alot of questions and I was trying to answer in ways she would understand. (granny is very closed minded) Anyway, we got to lunch and talked for the better part of two hours. And to my surprise she did not freak. She just looked at me and said she was trying to understand. The she said "that must be why you liked panties when you were young". I laughed and said yeah. Didn't it ever occur to you that it was not sexual since you found panties in my room well before I was old enough to know what sex was? She just kinda looked like a light came on in her head.
Anyway, she knows now and I am not even sure why I told her. I guess being here and reading about all of you that have told your family made me want to get it out as well. We shall see what happens next. But the funniest thing is, my house was given to me by her for a gift because my wife and I cared for her after an auto accident for over a year. Today she said, if you had told me sooner I would have bought you a house away from me and your mom. I just smiled and said I was not ready to tell anyone when you bought us this house. She also asked me if there was any medication to fix it. I told her no and that I would not change it even if I could. Then she asked if there was any cure at all. And I told her no.
Thanks for reading and listening. I love you all and love this place. Thank you so much for being here.
Love, April
