Accepted

Neither of my parents know. My neice knows, and her mother (my sister-in-law) found out by accident. That was an uneasy experience! But she says she's okay with it. She also agreed that my parents would probably take the news in a rather "unsettling" way.

To those who've told their parents, I applaud you! I wish I could as well, but I just don't think it's going to happen.

Mom knew and little sister knew, both passed on now. My only sister knows and accepts. S/O knows and supports.

My mom descovered me and was not accepting. Dad and I discused it after he and Mom deviorced and he had remarried. My brother and sister in law were aware and seemed to be nonjudgemental. I am sure my younger sister is aware but we do not discuss it as we have grown apart over the years. None of the family has ever seen me as Leeza. All hve passed on except m younger sister.

Nope,, while my parents know who I am, they don't like it.

Julie, if she asks you to go out with her, she'll probably be willing to provide you with advice as to passing. A shopping trip might be too much to start with - maybe something more limited.

Good luck!

My dad is dead, I suspect that my mother knows but has never said anything. After all it was her bras that wore as a teenager. My wife knows and is very aceepting. They only request she made lately is that I not wear underwire items to bed.

My mom raised me as a girl for the first 5 yrs. While she has passed away, I think she would be OK with it. My dad was the one who insisted (at 5) that I be a boy and do boy things. Perhaps it was better as school in the 1950's would not have known what to do. Anyway, he would never have really accepted it. Now that they are gone from the earth, I am free of there worldly thoughts and can be Edy when ever I like. Like right now!

Hugs Edy

I told my Mom 10 or 15 years ago. She's fine with it and has seen me dressed and we've gone shopping together. I am very fortunate! My wife is helpful, but doesn't want to meet Lisa.

My biological mother knows and is supportive and jokes about it, eg. 'it's the daughter I never had' kinda thing. My adopted mother, I think she's got an idea of what's going on, but doesn't say much about it...She's got the 'ostrich syndrome' I suppose.

My wife knows and is very supportive. It cool talking to her about which bra to wear or which color of lipstick to use. If had known it to be that enjoyable, I would have done it sooner. I think my wife is starting to treat me like the sister she always wanted.

Having a supportive spouse takes the journey to a higher level. It has brought us much closer.
