Heeeeey~. It's me again. 83 Thank you all for your comments. <3~

But, anyways, I spent most of yesterday contemplating about being transgendered, and I was just like 'I don't know what I'm so confused about. There's no way I'm a girl.' All that reading, that came so close to what I felt like, helped me discover who I am. I'm still goiing to talk to my therapist, of course, but for now I'm pretty certain. 8)

I even came out to my mom. It was pretty intense, and if you want to know how it happened, read on~.



So, all the stress started when I went downstairs, just so I could tell my mom. I knew that if I didn't tell her then, I never would. So after sitting down, and feeling very uncomfortable for several minutes, I got up and asked if I could go talk to her outside. She said okay, and we went into the backyard.

I was extremely nervous, and told her I had something big to tell her. I stood there for a couple of minutes, just saying 'um' on repeat.

Then I finally just told her. She just looked at me, and said 'So you want to dress like a boy?'

I nodded, and then explained more fully about what a transgender person is, and why I felt that way. She then asked if I wanted surgery, and I said no.

She was actually really happy for me, and hugged me a lot. She was mostly happy I finally confided in her about something. 83



Oh, I would also like some advice. I'm planning on coming out to my friend when she comes over this weekend. (I was going to tell her online, but her parents look over her shoulder, and I'm pretty sure that they would take it badly.) She's the same age as me, and I'm not sure if she really knows what a transgender person is like, or what it means to be one.

So, any suggestions on the easiest, most painless way to do this? I'm sure she's open minded about things like this, but you can never know where the line is drawn.
