After a long time of worrying about how my mum would react, I finally did it. I did it 5 minutes ago and I’m still shaking lol. She accepted me and wants me to be who I want to be. She doesn’t know what I’ll do from here, but she wants me to do what makes me happy. She thought I had sexuality issues not gender issues so she was a bit surprised. Next I guess is my sister. I’ll reply to this if anything happens with her I’m very happy right now
Danielle1........I am really happy for you! ***Happy*** ***Happy*** ***Happy*** ***Happy*** ! .....David
Slight update… My mum told my dad about me wanting to be transgender. Apparently he had the same reaction as mum did. He accepts me for who I am and just wants me to happy. It’s all unravelling now I guess. I don’t have to hide my gender anymore. I’ve just got to tell my sister
I told my sister and she gave me her dress to make me happy. She wasn’t even shocked which is the best part, she was happy. I’m glad I have such a supportive family <3
Didn't I tell you she'd be fine! So pleased for you, Danielle. This is the first day of the rest of your life. Exciting times lie ahead! Hugs, Beth x
I guess to conclude this, I’m complete out to my family now. I’ll have to tell my grandparents and other people I know but that’ll happen soon. I’m not going to transition at uni yet, I’m going to wait until after December. I want to get good enough at passing so I don’t need to worry about it too much. My voice is still masculine but I’ll try and train that as well. So I guess that’s the beginning of my trans journey. Just socially transitioning. My mum wants to contact other trans individuals for advice about medically transitioning but I can only hope it’ll happen soon. Thank you to everyone for supporting me and also congratulating me <3 I really do have amazing people to talk to, both online and in real life
