I visited my parents for the first time since last Christmas last weekend.
I went to celebrate the birthday of one of my sisters, and our whole family was back in the same house for the weekend.
Everything kinda happened on accident. I was hanging out with my sister, and she noticed that my ears were pierced, and she could tell that I had something to say. My whole story kinda just spilled out.
She was confused and sad, but sympathetic. The rest of my family entered the room after a bit, and I decided that I didn't want to burden my sister with keeping my secret, so I came out to all of them.
My dad asked me a lot of questions, and we talked late into the night. I don't think he will ever accept me as a female, but he says that he will basically love me no matter what I do, and I'm still welcome in his home.
Everybody was pretty quiet the next day, and I don't know what will happen in the long run, but yeah, I came out to my conservative christian family, and I survived.
I'm glad I did it so early into my transition to be honest. That was a big hurdle for me.
