Right the nuclear (email mom) button has been pressed, although I doubt she will check her emails tonight anyway!
Have sent her one of my pics from yesterday for some reason as well, I guess maybe to show her I am serious although being almost 38 if she doesnt like it then tough buns. That said I think my mom is pretty open about things like this (other family members including her brother less so as their cousin transitioned a few years ago) and I am sure she already suspects something, I did mention that in the email as I was sure she knew that I knew that she knew at a particular point. (if that makes sense!)
As for me thats about all the coming out I am doing at present unless I am questioned about it and feel I can trust the questioner! Am going to try and see my doctor this week just for a health check up, as I dont plan on transitioning straight away (so I wouldnt get synth hormones in the UK) and the pharma meds seem to have a lot of side effects (undesired ones) I will certainly be around the naturals part of this forum for a while longer.
Thanks again for everyone who contributes to the forum, it has been really helpful in coming to terms with the idea of being more female even if I dont go fully female, but also realising that I am not the only person going through the same things. A lifetime of on and off problems and worries has left me pretty resilient at coping with most things but I still think this forum has been an immense help both in terms of what herbals to buy but also as a place where people can be themselves - whatever gender that might be!

P.S I still dont know where I will end up but I dont tend to do things by half so this could become a more permanent thing than I thought originally possible even if it takes a few years!
I had thought about a big coming out when I am 40 for some reason, although male mode seems hard to pull off after a few months let alone after a few years and I do worry that Megan is just going to suddenly take over one day and that will be that!
