Unfortunately, I must say yes to three relatives, it hurts and it may always remain that way. My daughter and my son won’t accept me as a woman – period, end of discussion! My daughter isn’t even talking to me, my son will text. I cannot see them or the grand kids unless I come as a man. My younger brother just says it’s too weird but I never see him anyway.
As for friends, well, let me tell you how fast you find out just who your true friends are, announce you are transgender and see how fast they vanish! The handful that remain are truly those who matter.
I do have close friends who have remained, some I’ve known for 35 years or more. remaining relatives are my little brother and his wife, their kids, my sister and her kids. My sister in law welcomed her new sister into the family, my sister already refers to me as her big sister and all the kids involved call me Auntie Lauren.
I miss my two kids but will have to live with that and hope they can eventually wrap their heads around the fact I am, and always have been, a trans woman.
Hugs girls,
Ms. Lauren M
