Just told my mum

[Gemma Rhodes]

As most of you know, I live alone. Well my mum came round to see me today and I had left my pink cord jacket hanging on the end of the stairs. She saw it before I could hide it and asked me whose it was. Thats when I came clean and told her all about me.

You may remember that I said that I thought she would have a clue about me but she never had the slightest suspicion. It came as a big shock to her and even more so when I showed her some pics of me. She said she was very shocked but glad that I had the courage to tell her,that I would always be her son and she would always love me, but she could not understand why I wanted to dress If it wasn't to attract men. She also said she would accept it but would never understand it which I don't expect her too as I don't understand it myself.

Anyway it ended up with us both in tears and telling each other we loved each other still. For me there was no change in the way I felt about my mum but I was so relieved that she will accept me even though she will never understand why I need to do it.

Mums can be among the most understanding and forgiving - after all they know "girls have more fun". Not all societies think "it's all about sex" - but that's the dominant reaction in western societies - we just have to weather it through. I'm glad it's working out.
