    :eusa_clap *Pats self on back* I did it! :eusa_danc
    I don't know....oh wow
    okay here's what just happened

    So my dad (okay he's not my real dad, real dad was an asshole but he's the closest thing to a dad i have and he's awesome) wanted me to go with him to pick up my little sister
    which i think was like a half an hour/45minute drive

    It was kinda awkward so okay there's this lesbian girl i am friends with and i stayed over her house a while back during "family issues" for days on end, and anyway well her and her girlfriend have been arguing over me cause this girl....well turns out she likes me, she told me before i just didn't really think it was true , so my dad asked how thing's were with...this friend

    so i told him, i trusted him enough to tell him... and he said

    "Oh do you think she likes you?" :confused:
    "Yep...well...yeah i guess"
    "Does she know your straight?".... *pauses*
    "Are you straight?"
    "It's complicated okay..."
    "Yeah?"
    "I don't want to talk about this"
    "Your bi?"
    "Lesbian"
    ....this goes on for a while with me cringing and hiding my head in my hands

    Then i finally say it "Transgender" :eek: I can't believe i said it
    he stares at me.... and i look out the window ashamed
    He looked confused and asked "How can you be transgender" I had to explain what transgender is....and how i felt, he then realized and we had a few awkward glances

    He asked if any of my sisters knew i felt this way, my 15 year old sister does, he asked if my mum knows, she does and now he does too


    We then had a big talk
    about..well everything and well
    He said he's happy with whatever makes me happy, he said as long as I'm happy, have a good job, am doing with what I want in life then it shouldn't matter who I'm with and whatever makes me happy :')


    He then started tearing up a little and patted me..with watery eyes

    Then my sister got in the car
    and now were home, it didn't feel like it did when i came out to my mum
    i felt...accepted with my mum i dunno it felt different
    but yeah i am happy i finally told him, i was so worried about ever telling him the most. Afraid he'd think i am a freak and blame my mum but he was great about it

    So yeah!! *Sings and dances to Diana Ross- I'm coming out* :eusa_danc (&&&)

    Oh i forgot
    I Didn't answer him on the whole "weather i am attracted to guys or girls"
    I just said "Does it really matter?"
    I just told him the truth that i am questioning things right now...and am unsure about that but one thing i am sure of is i am trans-ftm

    Wow, it was hard for me coming out as gay, but transgendered would be even harder! (*hug*)
