    I wasn't actually planning to come out to her, but here's what happened. We were in the car headed to the roller skating rink last night, and we had been talking about my sexuality, I had clarified a few things to her. Then, she asked me if I was transgender. I was surprised, but I told her that I was. She told me she had known I was heading in that direction for over a year, longer then I'd even been questioning. I am very close to her, and I guess it's true that mothers always know. She said that there were a lot of signs. She was extremely supportive, which I was overwhelmingly happy about, but a tad misguided. (She asked if I had ever been raped or molested XD) I answered a lot of questions last night, which I was glad to do. We talked about how far I wanted to transition, how I felt, stuff like that. My mom was prepared for all of this. I'm really glad this wasn't a surprise to her.

    I feel so surreal right now... :slight_smile:

    Well, firstly we are very close so I'm sure she just knows me. I'd brought up trans stuff a few times which she noticed. Also, my quiet descent into more masculine styles. It's hard to explain, I think sometimes mothers literally just know. My behavior as a kid too, not being a tough girl hanging out with guys, but seamlessly fitting in with them. Good luck with the hints and eventually coming out. :slight_smile:

    Woot woot, 700th post!

    Congrats! Three cheers for you and our mom!

    My mom would abandon me if she finds out I am gay.
