    I know I've already posted this on several of my friend's walls, but I wanted to post a thread here too...

    I just came out to my mum.

    She handled it A LOT better than I thought and she even said she kind of suspected, but that she just said that as long as I'm happy, she's happy. I wasn;t planning on telling her, but my parents were asking me about Sunday, so I sort of lied & said my friend is bisexual, which she is, and that we were going to Pride & I was going for support. She asked me if I wanted to go because I am gay & I said no (I lied basically, as I've been coming to terms that not only have I been female my whole life, I'm also only attracted to other women), then she asked if I was bisexual & I said no & then she asked what I was. I walked up to her & whispered in her ear than I'm transgendered. I was surprised when she asked me if I'd talked to someone & that's when I told her I'd come out here at the end of June & to my friend just on Sunday. It feels a bit better now & I'm relieved that she knows, but I asked her not to say anything to my dad yet cuz I don't think he'll be able to handle it...
