I've been trying to deal with this myself for a little while, but I decided that its time to get some advice on this. I've been getting very angry at myself over this. I feel that my whole happiness depends on me telling my mom that I want to be a girl. I've come close so many times and yet I still find myself just wanting to lock the closet door shut again. I just want to be able to shop for girl things and go out with my girl friends.
hmmm that's tough, is there some way you could rent a movie or something about these kinds of issues? I don't really know how you would casually bring it up but maybe ask her to watch with you and then that could possibly open her up to discussion.
