I have amazing children. Three of my five children have know for years about my feminine journey and being on the transgender spectrum. Up to last month I had only shared photos and conversations. Last month my wife and I went to visit the two daughters that live in the East Bay area of San Francisco for a whole month.(We live in Israel) One of my daughters organized a coming out party for me with her sister, husbands, grandchildren and friends! I came as Devorah, it was amazing, so much love and acceptance. One of my daughters even said she thought she liked me better as Devorah! Everyone at the party said it was a special even for them too, encouraging them to be free in who they are. From then on for most of the evening family time I was Devorah: at home with them, bars, restaurants, shopping; all in the completely accepting atmosphere of the East Bay. Not one negative comment or strange look! I think I blend well, but not upon close inspection, but I had so much confidence accompanied by my children and their husbands! It was like a dream come true, my wife and I are still trying to digest all this after a week back at home.
So I want to say a special word of thanks and appreciation to this site and all of you!:) You have played a major role in my gaining self acceptance and the joy that comes in being myself!
