This makes me wonder if transgendered people have more "traditional", or more defined, views of what constitute a woman and a man.
I am completely out of depth here, but it seems to me that if one has been born in the wrong body, one might have want to more strongly express the gender one associate with.
I just want to act "naturally". Whether that's more masculine or feminine doesn't really concern me.
Totally chickening out on coming out :/
Have you considered writing a letter?

How did it go?
Excluding tax I cut my gaming expenditures for the year down to right over $100. Backlog is huge and I have more importing things to spend money on.
I want to pay for transitioning myself even if my parents want to. It's important to me that I'm working towards it.

Didn't come out and I'm basically home alone for the next 3 weeks :/

That would be... interesting.Whatever you do, do not use the ta-da method.
ta-da method?
So. I've lost a decent amount of weight this year, which I discovered means I now fit in size 11 junior's jeans. (Down from 13 last year.) Which means, shopping time! Got a couple pairs, now I've worn skinny-ish girljeans to work three days without anyone noticing. And due to the fact that the pockets suck (and I've been wanting one anyway), I got myself a messenger bag to use like a purse.
I appear to be going female by way of hipster.
Hey, can I join in on this thread? I'm a pre-op male-to-female transgender not undergoing hormone therapy yet.
WHAT'S THIS I'M HEARING ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO EAT BANANAS WHEN ON SPIRO?!
Guys, I wanna come out to my mom.
I already came out to her once, but it seems that since it was just a "Hey mom, here's some stuff you didn't know about me." message on Facebook, she seems to have forgotten.
Any ideas how to approach her with this?
That's the problem, the first time I told her, I just told her to look at my Facebook gender, (at first she thought I was saying I was gay), so I never said my brain works like a girl's, I just told her I wanted to be a girl.You just come out and say it. "Hey mum, remember I told you my brain works like a girl's even though my body is male? I've decided to start changing my body so I can live as a girl and stop feeling so trapped trying to live up to being a man, when I'm not one. Here's what I'm planning to do..."
There's no easy way out and no way to fudge the conversation so you don't have to say anything difficult. Just rip it off like a bandage.
Thanks.Best of luck to you Aiko, on behalf of non-trans GAF. I'm rooting for you.
Whenever I see something like this I always make a note: if my children are like this, I'm gonna super-accept them....
Not really, no. I want to move in with her for reasons other than being transgender.Isn't it more a case of, you want to see if she'll accept you BEFORE you move in with her?
I gave my parents the book "True Selves" as well. Sometimes when I am having a hard time accepting myself mum comes out with something the book said.
