    Ok, to clarify, this is not the first time my mom ever knew I was Genderfluid but this was the official coming out point where I straight out said it.

    So, my parents have just gotten over me being a lesbian and guess what? I find out I'm Genderfluid! (It makes sense since whenever I played with my friends when I was little I was always a boy, almost always.)
    I didn't want to drop the bomb on them right after they got through the lesbian thing so I kept it inside. Then, I told my mom to call me Alex because I wanted a more gender-neutral name. She was great about it! She said sure and that if I ever need to talk she's here. So, that night, I went into her room and told her I'm Genderfluid and we talked about it for a while. And it was amazing. She said she loved me for who I am, Genderfluid, Transgender, Cisgender, Bisexual, Lesbian, Straight, whatever! She offered that we could read or book or go to see a therapist! It took me so long to come out and I felt so horrible about it, I felt like being Genderfluid made me weird and creepy and that nobody would want to be my friend if they found out, but her reaction was so amazing it actually made me feel more comfortable around her and more comfortable about being Genderfluid! I love my mom! (*hug*) There are bad people out there who don't understand and never will but there are good people, like my mom. :slight_smile: I even told her about this website and said it was a really great tool for learning more and having your questions answered.

    Kudos for being so brave, exposing your inner self is such a scary thing.

    Glad you have a wonderful mum.
