So, we got a table from one of my dad's friends today and as I was hauling the chairs into the kitchen my dad apologizes to the guy and says 'Sorry for the mess but he's been doing laundry all day...'

It took me a minute to realize that he was talking about me! :eek:

I've not 'officially' come out to my dad as being transgender or asked him to call me a 'he' so you can probably see why this was so surprising! =^-^=

He didn't even realize that he did it!

But I did. And it made me so happy! I wonder if that means subconsciously I'm coming across as a man to him??

Either way Len, seems like you're happy about it, and that's what counts :)

He didn't even realize that he did it!

THAT'S validation. 100% pure and true.

Best wishes

The first time we are gendered correctly is such a milestone. Maybe it's the right time to come out.

This is called acceptance.

That's great! It's so awesome that your dad is accepting of you being a man.

Len - I think that's what it does mean! :cheer:

Just keep doing what you're doing, and doing it how you' re doing it - I think all will be well over time... :)

Thanks everyone for the great replies! :) Every one of them made my day!

I Am Paula: I think that you're right ^_^ I've been feeling so much more confident as a man since then it's unreal! :)

Little things like this are so wonderful, aren't they?

Of course, he may make a gender mistake or two in the future, but you know where his heart it!
