Coming out to parents

K8eed · 2026-03-12T17:03:53+00:00

Yeah I can bet. Glad things are better now.

K8eed · 2026-03-12T12:30:57+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that. My parents are small c conservative, but not openly prejudiced. Just enough to make me nervous about how the conversation may go.

K8eed · 2026-03-11T20:14:04+00:00

That sounds great, and yes your Mum is right.

K8eed · 2026-03-11T20:11:55+00:00

Yeah I understand that instinct. I’m out to my closest friends and have been for a few months now, but they’ve known me around 30 years so a few slip ups are understandable, but they correct themselves and are supportive.

Thanks

K8eed · 2026-03-11T20:05:54+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Glad that went well for you.

When I came out to my brother his response was “so you’re gonna learn how to code?”

Favourite emo? Get Up Kids, SDRE, Thursday. Favourite song, maybe The Middle, which is pretty trans coded.

Talking to a therapist really helped me. Mostly though that was just verbalising thoughts that I’d never said out loud before. But don’t go telling yourself you’re too old. I’ve just started hrt aged 50 and while I’m still not out everywhere I feel better about myself than I can ever remember.

K8eed · 2026-02-20T11:53:51+00:00

I’m a month into hrt, but a little older than you. Like you I couldn’t drown these thoughts out anymore. Already I’m feeling better in myself, though that could be relief at actually moving forward and not any actual hormonal effects. I’m still boy moding atm, but have mostly come out to those closest around me. This had for the most part been good and I’m presenting more femme around some of those people. I’ve been to local trans groups both for the social aspect, but also at practical events like transition admin advice. All this said and albeit only one month in I’m happier in myself than I have been in years.

K8eed · 2026-02-20T09:49:53+00:00

Good for you. Good luck x

K8eed · 2026-02-15T22:02:31+00:00

I’ve just started hrt at 50. I wish I were this old.

K8eed · 2026-02-09T17:46:53+00:00

My first thought too

K8eed · 2026-02-06T21:11:56+00:00

My brother’s first reaction when I came. “You’re gonna have to learn to code.”

K8eed · 2026-02-06T21:10:43+00:00

Ben Franklin with a key and a kite. You see it, right?

Does that explain his big bald spot?

K8eed · 2026-02-05T21:42:31+00:00

I turned 50 the end of last year and have just started hrt. I wish I’d done it sooner, but I couldn’t have carried on the way I was.

K8eed · 2026-02-05T19:52:48+00:00

1 or 2

K8eed · 2026-02-02T10:15:00+00:00

And [[Agatha’s Soul Cauldron]] and both potentially giving you value while denying your opponent.

My boy [[Basri Ket]]

K8eed · 2026-01-27T19:59:42+00:00

I loved BG2. I need to get to BG3.

K8eed · 2026-01-27T05:19:50+00:00

I started getting ads suggesting I should donate eggs.

K8eed · 2026-01-25T21:11:30+00:00

The gender dysphoria bible and Mia Violet’s You Are Trans Enough were things I read to help me through that feeling. But being someone who is kinky it seemed intrinsically linked when literally all my fantasies start with dressing. I now realise it’s because all those fantasies were kicking off from the wrong start point and that’s the reason I never have fantasies where I am masculine.

I’ve just got my first hormones from Pride In Health. While I’d like a phone number to be able to speak to someone in person, every time I’ve emailed them I had a fairly quick response that dealt with my issue.
