What Mom Cares About Most

When I Realised I Was Transgender I Was So Afraid Of What My Transition Would Do To Everyone Else In My Life And How They Would React To It And Would I Be Rejected?

So When I Was About 13 Or 14, I Realized I Was Attracted To Women And Then Made The Assumption That I Was A Lesbian, And Didn't Realize That That Wasn't The Case. It Was The Fact That I Was A Man And A Heterosexual Man. The Issue Wasn't My Sexual Orientation, But Rather My Gender Identity.

I Felt Like One Of The Boys. My Friends Were Boys. In School I Related To Boys.

Deep Down, My Mom Had Long Suspected I Was Gay... Much Of Her Anger And Hurt Came From Her Sense Of Betrayal That She Was The Last To Be Told.

A Lot Of Parents Never Speak To Their Transgender Kids Again That's Not The Case In My Family.
