    Just a little follow up on this...Have you had the talk with your daughters yet. If they are anything like mine, they will start to help pick out clothes, makeup and hair styles. It's fantastic that your Doc is willing to helpp with your transition. Let us know what's happened over these last three months.

    Be truthful with your kids if they are 16&17 they are exposed to more that we were at that age. Just be truthful you will never regret it. The real friends will stick by you and love you for who you are, tour kids and family will love you for who you are! and you will feel better for one reason you don't have to hide your true self any longer, those who care about you and love you will be there for you if they don't are they really worth having? You need to be yourself and be happy with you.

    Thanks Katrina,I don't know but I'm beginning to think in this day and age we're our worst enemies. I saw my DR. today ,I've known him for 40 yrs. and I was so scared about what I wanted to ask him about,gender reassingment, he took it like I asked him to go for a beer. He's gonna help me ,so you never know.

    I know when I had the talk with my girls, it cleared up a lot of unasked questions that they had. It also helped me become more comfortable with me at the same time.

    Mine are 16 and 17 and I think you're right because they express a lot of versions of what they think I am ,maybe it would put their minds to rest.

    Just curious but how old are your daughters? You may be surprised at just how mature they are if you do have the "discussion". Mine were both in their teens and seemed to accept what we talked about.

    I can relate to my children's comments. They are one shot deals or a knowing smile and then it is forgotten/no said constantly. I'm not out either and not gay, but that conversation is on the horizon for me too.



    Don't know if that is good or bad when one is trying to live quietly and without fanfare.



    Definitely understand.

    be thankful they love you and except you for who you are. I would risk to say they don't care what you wear, because you love them, and they you. Lots of people would love to be in your place with kids who understand. Jill be strong there are lots out here who know and will support you also but having your kids behind is irreplaceable.
