I've been noticing my mom watching trans programs on TV (documentaries) more often, I feel that if I do tell her I'm trans now, she'll think I'm saying that just because I see it on TV. I know she'll be supportive, and maybe that's why she's watching these programs, to help me come out to her. Maybe she's trying to tell me in her own way that she's supportive of me (and knows, maybe?) and is just waiting for me to come out to her. Maybe I'm just overthinking all this.
well, it seems like a good sign, in any case. Before I came out to my parents, I got real supportive of the Qcommunity, and helped my parents become supporters like myself. Then they were more cool about it(and less surprised) when I did end up coming out. I would start off by letting your mom know that you support this sort of thing, if you haven't already.
I understood this. I'm afraid that if I come out as trans to some of my family they will think I'm just jumping on a bandwagon, even though I haven't really watched any of those shows.
