Coming out to my mom today that I'd started HRT was the complete inverse of most of my trans friends experiences.
She'd noticed I'd looked different in a good way but didn't know what it was, and lauded me for my decision because external ideas of gender "are just Boxes we put ourselves in, and you've never been comfortable living in a box"
Came out to her about Yaori, too, which was even easier.
@Motodrachen Hooray for having a good coming out experience! I'm really glad that went well for you.
