First off I've been a member here since August of 2012, I apologized for the lack of appearance on this site. I really do feel like this is home to me, knowing theirs more TG's out there. I did update my picture though so everyone can see my girl side.
I titled this coming out to my mother because it was that time. I got a text from my mom asking if I wanted to have dinner. I found this kind of strange because ever since she remarried her and I stopped having our mother/son dinner nights once a week. I was happy, thought she wanted to do it again. So we planned to have dinner at 6pm on May 7th at a nice restaurant. We talked for a good half hour about a ton of stuff (work, life, friends, living, etc). After dinner my mom said "Can I ask you a question and I want you to be honest with me." Knowing every time I heard this growing up I also got nervous, quiet, and very shy. "Sure" I responded. "Are you transgender?" "I've notice all the women's clothes and shoes you've had over the years and I got to thinking." It was silent for a good 30 seconds as I was embarrassed and shy. In that 30 seconds I thought to myself, maybe it's time. I replied with a "yes." With a confused smile on my moms face she asked if she could ask me questions. I answered with a "yes." So for the next hour or so we talked about Molly, how I go out in public, my TG group I go to, etc. she became very supportive, disappointed I never told her years ago. I mean I've started liking women's shoes back in 1999, then started venturing into women's clothing in 2006.
As we got back to her house (house I grew up in) my stepdad was there. She told me we should tell him, I agreed. He became very supportive (his 2 daughters are gay - my step sisters). Told me to be who I wanted to be and don't let others drag me down.
About a week down the road or so, mom said I should tell my sister who is 14 months younger then me. Growing up her and I were never on the same page. Mind you my sister is happily married with 2 boys. After confessing to her, she was happy to hear about it. Very supportive and told her husband later in who became supportive. Recently last week I met up with my brother in law and asked if my sister talked with him. He had question and said he loves me to death and whatever makes me happy. He said he would loved to see my girl side someday.
Sorry this was long, but I'm glad to be back. I wanted to share this story about my mom, stepdad, sister, and brother in law. Thanks for reading.
