I'm out (self.mtf)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Katie to c/mtf

My mom forced me to come out to her, but she was accepting and encouraged me to come out to my dad and I was very very surprised be he was also accepting.

I'm really happy at that outcome, I'm so excited, I get to wear the clothes I want now, I don't have to hide it anymore, I get to tell them what I'm feeling, what's actually going on, where I'm actually going, who my friends really are, and I get to actually be me around them.

I just wanted to share that celebration with y'all

Hey, that is so great, I am happy for you! In fact, this certainly improved my mood :)

On a different note: At first I read "my mum forced me out" and was first very upset and then very confused.

Yeah I probably could have worded that better, and I'm happy it improved your mood!

Of no, it's fine! My eyes were just tired and I wanted to share my confusion about "she forced you out but very supportive" because I think it's funny :D

Awesome! Better out than in!

Sorry to hear you were forced into it; I guess you weren't hiding it too well? :3

Thanks! Yeah, they found my makeup and continued from there + I regularly went semi-fem in front of them, so my Mom was already suspicious

Good for you! 😁

That is fantastic! It must have have been incredibly difficult to effectively live a double life and feel like you are constantly lying to your closest family. What a relief this must be for you. Congratulations.
