We are Familyyy !

[chloe8269]

I know i dont post much on here so hi lol
but i was wondering something from reading posts on here, i dont know if this topic has been done or not but i always wonder about deeper things that go beyond peni and boobages about transgendered women. From knowing Jen, and seeing how great her relationship is with her family (and envying her) and also chatting with allanah a brief time last year about our mothers battling cancer,(btw i hope shes doing better gorgeous) but seeing photos of her and her beautiful mother she obviously has the support and acceptance of her, but getting to the question:

i wonder from most girls how's your relationship with your family?. i guess ill start,
my mother for a long time we butted heads specially with her understanding me growing breasts and looking like a woman day by day,she always still related to me and referred to me as just a gay man who likes to look like a girl.matter of fact one time we watched allanah on maury and she goes wow shes pretty is she a gay like you ?. it took her getting really tore up drunk but i broke down to her and told her i was going the whole 9 yards, ive been on hormones and inhibitors for 2 years, have my little chi chis, i plan for surgeries to be more comfortable in my own skin and she finally understands and accepts me. she slips sometimes and says he on the phone which drives people nuts but hey she gave me life,

my sister,.... ah my sister ,. shes been knowing since even before i showed signs at four years old, so when i told her she was like FINALLY! i get my little sister!,. now when we going get implants together? her 9 yr old son even calls me "aunt cleo", poor thing cant pronounce chloe,. but he tries

my brother on the other hand has a very religious wife who has him by the balls, so its hard to get the point across i need , he also has three children and i mean im sensitive with children to what they can understand but i mean these kids arent allowed to watch cable so you can just imagine. but in his words hes "turning to god to understand and accept me" so i guess thats a start?

OH and for the guys,. have you ever brought a transgendered girl home to momma?.

Let me start off by saying i love my family dearly,i always said to myself i wouldn't be ashamed to introduce my significant other her being transgendered to my family but not to long ago that was put to the test in a way,my little sister came over one day and i forgot to turn my computer off i was so paranoid that maybe she had seen this site i was at the point of blatantly asking her did she see anything luckily jen gave me some sound advice just not to worry about it,it wasn't the point of her knowing that i preferred transgendered girls its that i was more afraid of her homophobic reaction.I think my parents would be more understanding because i've heard my mom say that some transgendred girls look better then some GG.

I really don't know how that comes off to you girls but i'm ashamed at no one its just i think some of you know how young siblings can be right.

On the Guy answer...No, I haven't had the pleasure of one of you fine ladies, as of yet. I have, expressed my opinion regarding this previously. I am not one that thrives on the acceptance of family or friends, nor their approval of anything I do. I do, what I do for my own benefit, emotional and physical satisfaction and health. If I were not in total acceptance and support of your community, I would not waste your or my time, by being here. I am extremely proud to be associated with you ladies, in as much as I have been graciously allowed to be involved. Those of you, true to your community, yourselves and your choice in life, are to be commended for your dedication and praised for your daring!
I have to tell you, although I understand, and in no way condemn it, am not into the escort thing. It would be my desire to engage in a LTR with a lady that has made the commitment to the lifestyle. The portion of the community that has done that, without breaching their integrity, has my full admiration and attention. As I have commited to one of the finest of your community, I am your Champion, my sword at your service!

When I came out at the age of 18 my parents kicked me out because they didnt want "my kind" around my half sister. My mom tried to convince me I was sick in the head, and my dad threatened to kill me, but he never did . I hadnt been living with my parents much since then until recently.
Ive been staying with my mom and stepdad since january of this year, and my mom has slowly been coming around. just a couple weeks ago she forced me to put a bra on cuz i was lounging around in my tank top without one, and she didnt like seeing my breasts moving around so much while i was doing chores, she cant pretend they arent there anymore. (i feel like that was a huge step for her to take.)
my sister is totally cool with me being trans and she loves to do my makeup and hair whenever she gets a chance. my brother is ok with it too but he will always call me by my birth name, but i dont mind cuz hes family.
anyways, when i first came out they rejected me, but now most of my family is accepting me. having a supportive family makes a drastic difference on how i feel. im much happier now =)

ive only been on hrt for 9 months. i can only hope they wont have any problems when i go fulltime during this year. although i might be moving far away from them soon and they wont recognize me the next time they see me. i love my family, and my friends, even if they dont understand.

Happy for you. You appear to have a great outlook on your development. Best of luck, as you proceed.

yeah, ive become a very happy and mentally stable person overall. i know that i shouldnt have to validate myself by the aproval of others, but it really does help to feel accepted, especially by loved ones. the world can feel like a very lonely place when it "feels" like nobody cares about you. Im transitioning for myself to be happy, not to hurt anybody or to make anybody like me. for me, its do or die trying. ive grown to love life emmensly.

Five years ago I told my best friend in Southampton, He was fine. I then told some of my other friends who didnt react too well and seens as I had a GF who previously had her heart broken when she found out her BF was gay, I decided to split up without telling her (I didn't want to add to her hurt) and move away from everyone.

It was then that I told my mum. we were both sat in a pub having lunch and both cried. Me because I was hurting so much and her because she wished I had told her before.

Since then my whole family ie: parents, sister, nan, aunties, uncles and even my many cousins have met me as Jennifer and totally accept me. In fact most of them have commented on how much happier I seem to be and how much better I get along with them all. I even went to my nans 70th birthday during my first year 'out' with my best friend of the time who is also TS.

Nowdays my mother knows I have an adult site and thinks its great - she even buys me props and outfits for shoots!! I started escorting this year to fund breast augmentation/FFS and also to raise $$ to eventually start my own DVD production company and she is totally fine with it. They are moving to spain this month and are even going to let me do shoots in the villa and by the pool!!!

On the flip side.... my partners mother and ex. wife found out about me, the website and the night out we run together this year and he has lost his family, friends and even his children. This makes me very sad. He must love me a lot.

When I first told my parents, we talked about it, a lot.
They hoped/thought it was a phase I was going through.

As they saw it wasn't a phase and that I was happier,
they were very supportive.

Now to them, and the rest of my family, I am their
daughter, Sister, Aunt, niece, just as if I had come in
the world that way.

I am truly blessed.

OH and for the guys,. have you ever brought a transgendered girl home to momma?.

me? NO WAY. because shes a tranny? nope. i dont bring gfs home to my family, be it a natrual born woman or transgendered girl. why? because a) i live far away from my parents;

b) my dad doesnt care, and my mom was NEVER satisfied with the chix i brought home so why bother

c) its a private matter between my girl and myself.

thats also the reason i NEVER bring my current chick to friends. why bore everybody?? i just cant stand good friends, suddenly taking their gfs with them just to present them to their peers - an act usually motivated by nothing else than damn vanity. it surely kills the vibe on a good night out.

apart from that:
chloe, good topic. will bring another important aspect of T-life into the light.

Me?

thank ya :-) thats nice of you. exactly what i was going for.i dont really have very many transgendered friends or every really hadin person, maybe less then i can count on one hand to be honest, so i wonder about issues i face are similar, and "normal"

[whatsupwithat]

OH and for the guys,. have you ever brought a transgendered girl home to momma?.

Well, my mom died when i was 17, so, no.

But to my family, yep. I was in a relationship with a transsexual (lived together) for over 13 years and, well, I never thought I should do any differently. She was a part of my life. My family was a part of my life. No need to keep them separate. :)

sorry to hear about your mother,. . thats very noble of you about your family and your ex :-) to me my family is everything.my mother and my sister are my best friends,. ive been through hell and back in my life and my family has always been there so if i would have lost them through this point there would have been a dark void so im blessed,.

thats great to hear peggy :-) my mom still goes back and forth with the daughter thing but at least shes trying. its like a defining moment in your life when your family is okay with it.
