I feel like this is the first day of the rest of my life. I went to a therapist and did a little crying, which was embarrassing, but me and my mom got some things sorted out, talked about some things, got some things off our chests, and she has now agreed to call me her "son" and "he/him" and even "Drew" my preferred name! It was so great! And now... the cherry on top... I used a male bathroom! (!)
Congratulations, GayPugs! That's great news! (!) Be the best you that you can be! Stay strong and proud!
