    So, here's the letter I JUST sent to my parents, basically asking if I can start hormones.
    I sent it already, so I'm not asking for revision help... I guess I'm just documenting this step in my transition, and later I'll post what they reply. :grin:

    Wow, it sounds good. So is this an e-mail or a physical letter?

    Yayness. Very good, but I would put something different in the salutation. More personal.

    Aw...happy hugs time. (*hug*) :slight_smile:

    Wow. That was great. Good luck with that. I think I understand your situation better now having read that letter. As a parent, I'd be the one saying "let's talk about it when you're home for the summer...".

    I wish you and your parents all the best. Please have patience with them if they don't respond as well as you'd like them to. Parents aren't perfect.

    Woah, that's everyone for the support :slight_smile:

    Here's what my mom responded:
    She then called me to talk about the letter and other things, and I told her I'd pay for the hormones with my summer job money. She said okay!

    My dad also emailed me saying we should all have a conference call on Wednesday. I'll report back and let you guys know what the absolute for-sure verdict is :grin:

    Thanks again, guys! It really means a lot (&&&)
