    Congrats!! Try to ease into transgendered slowly. Test the water before you jump in. Best of luck to you! :grin:

    Thanks for the support.:slight_smile: My mom knows that she can't understand what I'm going through, and she has suggested that it may be a phase so I'll need to explain some more things today. Also, I'm afraid for when I have to tell my brothers/dad. I have a bad feeling that my dad won't be as accepting... but I'm happy for now.:icon_bigg

    This is amazing news!! You are an inspiration to all of us here!

    I guess you 'll need to take your time with your dad/brothers. Try having (not a direct) conversation with them for the lgbt community in general. See what's on their minds about the issue.

    We're so glad you did it!!!
