Surely I must be dreaming!

[Gemma Rhodes]

Hi all,

As you all know I have recently come out to my family and all of them, without exception, have been fantastic. Well things just keep getting better and I just wish I had plucked up the courage to tell them sooner.

Today my sister and my mum have gone shopping and I have just received a text from my sister asking me what size I am, I text her back, told her and asked why and she said that she had seen a dress that would really suit me and she was going to buy it for me. I offered to pay for it myself but she refused saying she wanted to buy me something to show her acceptance of me.

Wow, i just cant believe that my sister is buying me dresses, I just hope it suits me when they get back. Hopefully it will, then I can wear it on Saturday when I go round to hers for a meal.

I was so worried about telling them but it turns out to be the best thing I have ever done. Can't wait for my birthday now in August. :)

GREAT! Way to go. Accept the gift with an open heart and mind.

What a neat story. I have come out to my Mom--in fact, we've had several conversations about Michelle. (She's never actually seen me dressed enfemme, but I have shown her several photos.) My sister, however, is not quite so open-minded. She will not speak or hear of such things. Either way, I'm still happy being me!

Go and enjoy the time spent with your family.

I wish it was that easy, my parents are dead against this, If I told them, they'd send me to a psychiatrist (however you spell it), to sort me out.
I know because I got found out, and my mum said soemthing like "you're not going to do that again, it is wrong, if I catch you doing it again we will have to see someone about it"

so it's all hidden away here.

Hi Claire..I was thinking, if you told your parents and they send you to the psychiatrist. He would confirm that you are who you are. Then your parents would accept you because it would be confirmed your ok.......just thinking out loud...Sandy

Wow Gemma..To be accepted in both worlds. Fantastic!
