I'm trying to work up the nerve to talk to my mum about my transsexuality. I want to be as much prepared for anything and everything as I can be. Would anyone mind sharing some comming to your parents stories, or maybe just say what you think I should really be prepared for or how I should handle it? She's a pretty supportive lady, but I really do have NO clue what she'll think and I want to handle this the best way I can...

Also, on the same note of being prepared for any/everything, does anyone have an good experiences with any psychiatrist/therapists/etc in the San Diego or Los Angeles areas (she lives in LA, I live in San Diego)? Provided she's supportive and understand when I do tell her, I would like to be able to discuss the therapy aspect of it with her. And the best way to be informed is to ask people who've walked that path before...

Any help would be grand, and thank you muchly.
