I can't believe I did this. I took my mom shopping this weekend, and I brought my Katrina photos with me. On the way back to her house, I showed them to her.
"I want to show you something. Please don't freak out."
I handed Mom the photos. She starts flipping through them.
"Who is she?" she asked.
"It's me", I replied.
"Well, I didn't recognize you. How long have you been doing this? Have you 'changed'?"
I had to ponder that one. "Changed"? It then occured to me that she was asking if I was TS.
"No" I answered. "I just like to dress up." "I've been doing this for a while." I didn't say how long of a while, though.
I told her that I am the same son that she has always known, that I'm not gay, etc. I didn't go into what motivates me to do this.
She took it better than I thought. I hope I didn't freak her out. I let her know that if she had any questions about it, feel free to ask. She did ask who did the photos, so I told her about Clare, and how I go up there to do the shoots.
She was okay with it, that suprised me. But I think she's gotten more tolerant of some things as of late.
Still trembling,
Katrina
