I did it once before like 5 years ago, and was scared back into it by my parents' reactions (namely they sent me to 'convert your gays back straight' religious therapy). But 5 years later, a lot more mature and stable, I did it again. So uh.

Yeah.

I'm shaking like fucking nuts.

I mean I only came out to my mom instead of her AND dad at the same time this time (dad being the one that scares me more)

And I did it in a kinda wussy way. I took anti-anxiety medicine, took a shower, tried to talk to her, couldn't get words out, apologized for saying cryptic half things, went to my room and then just texted her everything all at once in a huge text. There was much hugging and crying afterwards and she says that she doesn't know what will happen but she'll always love me no matter what.

Which was kinda on par of what I was expecting from mom.

My mom is great. It's my dad that has me scared shitless now. I'm kinda hoping he has a long day at work and or doesn't come home for any reason at all right now.

SO THAT'S MY DAY

(for those not in the know, I'm biologically male, do not identify male, so my coming out of the closet is coming out as a MtF transgender / also a lesbian if you think too hard on it as I'm not into dudes. Weeeee~ I'm still shaking I really hope I don't throw up.)

*hugs*

We all love you, Elly. I'm glad your mother was supportive. Here's to hoping that things will go smoothly with your dad.

*hugs*

I can't imagine how hard that is for you. You're very brave.

Fingers crossed for you, hon. You can do it.

Good luck mate.

From one trans woman to another, I can understand how hard it is to do what you did, and you’re very brave for doing so. I hope things go well.

If you need someone in a wheelchair to come kick your dad's ass just let me know

this.

Minus the wheel chair >.>

So after a little more talking with my mom, we came to the agreement that it would be in everyone's best interests if my dad just doesn't know for now.

We'll just uh... wait for that hurdle another day.

Congratulations. I hope things work out for you and your dad when the time comes.

Seems like it... I'm game for an all out fight against Elly's father if it comes down to it.

As for you Elly, I'm glad things turned out well with your mother (or so it seems from my point of view) and I wish you the best of luck man. It's not an easy thing to do, opening up to your family about that kind of thing.

You've got Military, a Thug, a Jew, and a Crazy Guy here.

It wouldn't be an all out fight.

It'd be a what the fuck moment xD

I'd like to join the fight-El's-father club if it's not too late.

Me too! Eqaulity for all! Viva la Revolution! Down with the bourgeoise!

Of course it will... I'll sue him to death!!!

Go Elly.

All my respect and love, Elendra.

It feels so much better when you get to be yourself, even a little.
