So, about 10 months ago, I pierced my ears, but was keeping it on the down low (NOT RECOMMENDED, slower healing, more risk). Anyway I went to dinner at my sister S's house. About a third of the family was there, including my Sister E. She's a doctor (half the family is). And she exlaims, You've got your ears pierced. It was just holes that day.
I shushed her and promised to tell her the story later. And after that day, I decides there was no down low left. Over 10 months, it has taken a surprisingly long time for some people to notice.
Any way, I promised this sister I would tell her. She is the closest in age, and for a long time very tight with me especially in high school and college. (Joni, she also did LIFE!) But over the year every time we got together, there were too many people around. Till this weekend
I had to come up to drop my son and some other kids off for a inter school thing, and rather than go home and drive back the next day. I decide to hang out with her.
So I met her at her practice, after it closed at noon. I sort of set up the conversation talking about Facebook a little, and mentioning a Nephew of mine that's a drag preformer. He posted he was headed out to LA for some show. E asked jokingly if he was in drag. I said no. Then I just came out with, Speaking of crossdresser, I wanted to tell you about your half sister Meghan.
The floodgates opened. And we talked for hours. E was totally cool. She asked if I were TG or what, and if I were transitioning, but made no assumption about it or my sexuallity. She totally accepted me. And we ended up talking fashion and make up, about our kids ( we each have a gay kid) and tons and tons of other stuff. She also is a Mary Kay rep, so she said she could get me discounts. And we agreed that she and Meghan need to do a girls day occasionally.
I can not express how great I feel, and how incredibly lucky. She promised to keep it on the down low with the rest of the family. I don't know if, when, or how I will inform other members of the family, if ever, but I really needed this one.
