Helping my mom write a letter to explain both my gender and sexuality situation to my extended family. THAT'S a fun little bit of wordsmithing. o.o

Not included in the letter, thankfully: the polyamory thing or the paganism thing.

I still dunno what she thinks about the Paganism thing; I only brought it up once really, around winter solstice 2015, and basically got an "Oh that's nice..."

Which is certainly much better than such things go sometimes! But I do, for instance, wonder what she's thinking is happnening now when I do agree to pray for folks, etc. ;)

@indi one prayer = one goat sacrifice

Seriously though this is super tough and I am sorry you have to go through all this shitty emotional labor.
