    So I finally came out as trans* to my parents today and I couldn't be happier. I didn't give them enough credit there just amazing people. I left a letter explaining everything and a PFLAG pamphlet for family of trans* people before I went to work. On my break I got a text from my mom saying "i love you". When I got home we just sat around the table and talked and they said they had guessed that this was what was going on and they had already done some research. They were more than understanding they were extremely well informed and happy that I finally told them. They even said they were proud. Lots of crying and hugging. I just cant believe this is happening. And even more good news I finally got in with a therapist who specializes in gender and she said that I could be on hormones in as little as two months! After so long of being so lost and unhappy it finally feels like im on my way. (!)(!)
