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.

I bet you feel like the elephant on your back is gone. Sounds like it went as well as could be expected. Kudos to you for having the courage and strength to do it!
