Hi Sofia,

I see someone else is using their chosen name for their user id. I guess I changed mine because I was finally comfortable referring to myself as Megan but whatever the reason for yours congrats!

I emailed my mom last night about things, so today could be interesting at least I am at work all day so can ignore her until tonight. I am interested to see if my theory about whether she knew at the point I think she did is correct or not. I just felt in that second like she knew something was different with me and it has kind of played on my mind since.

Possibly like you I dont know where things will end up longer term but I do feel better about things now, and having this forum has been helpful in coming to terms with who I want to be at least internally if not externally as well.

Stay safe and stay strong!

Megan

Eeek, that is amazing, I hope things go well with you opening up to your mom. I say my parents would disown me, but I think my mom would still love me. She would try to understand, unfortunately both of my parents are very... close minded. And for a lack of a better term can be quite ignorant. There are no shades of grey, just black or white. There's no Bi, no TG no in between. You're gay or straight, can't have it both ways. (Though their chose of words can be quite derogatory)

I still remember a conversation I had with my dad. He's very proud of being Hispanic "race", it always bugged because that's an ethnicity not a race. So I finally said something, told him technically we're Caucasian, boy did I ever regret opening my mouth. Still to this day he will bring it up with venemous animosity. So I can only imagine the lovely choice of words they would have for their eldest child. Oh and believe me, I've heard it all from them.

Sorry went off on a tangent, what I was trying to say is you're a brave soul and I am happy for you, and perhaps a bit envious as well.

Sounds like we're about the same age too. With deepest sincerity, I hope everything goes wonderfully for you.

P.S. In regards to my recent name change, it's partially due to some enablers here and in the chatroom.
