I sent her a coming out letter while I was in school. Later I saw that she sent me a message but I was too scared to look at it at first.

She said that she need some time to clear things in her head but will always support and love me, that she will help and that everything will be good. She also said that we will talk about this when we are alone.

It made me so happy. Knowing that at least one person will support me makes things easier. It’s such a big step.

Edit: After I finished my launch she hugged me, we stayed like that for a long time. From her breathing I knew this is hard for her as I expected. She said same things she said in her messages and added that she is happy I told her how I feel.

    As a mom of a mtf child, it has been hard to reprogram my brain that they are no longer my son, but my daughter. I still love them, support them, and they will always be my baby. This internet stranger is very proud of you and wishes you the best going forward. 💛🏳️‍⚧️

    I remember you shared the letter here. I’m glad to know her initial reaction was good. Things won’t always go smoothly between you, but as long as she’s trying to understand and support you, it’ll be alright. Good luck on your journey!

      I was scared too. I did it because I would need to do it at some point anyway but coming out sooner means starting medical transition sooner in my case, basically I saw coming out now to be best thing to do. If I waited I’d probably regret it. I hope everything will go well for you.
