My mom told my brother and all my family at a family dinner that she refers to me in her workplace as the "good son". The comment was made in jest, and neither my brother nor I really took offense to it, now we joke about it very often. He knows about me.
A LITTLE HISTORY
I have a twin brother, we grew up together do a lot of things together and be brothers. However, unsuspectedly, when we were 15, he was caught doing "cyber" activities in an aol chat room (gosh that was forever ago). Well, the person he was chatting with was named something like hotpantsboy18 or something stupid like that (it wasn't exactly that, just like that). Shortly after that, he came out of the closet at a homosexual and it was practically hell on earth for me. My mother and my brother were constantly battling each other and my mother just could NOT ACCEPT it whatsoever. I played mediator between them for a very long time. This whole thing lasted about two years.
Well anyways, this gave me some very helpful insight to whether I would ever come out to my mother, because now I caught a glimpse as to how she would react. I now know that I can never tell her that I'm trans, because she'd probably flip. At least I can't tell her until I'm financially stable on my own.
I do find it quite amusing that I'm the good son, even though if she knew about my secret identity, it would probably be quite the reversal of her original statement.
I just wanted to share that musing with you all
