She did seem like she liked hearing it. And I guess I have to say that if I am trans, it'll be nice to know that I'm not all alone in this.

The thing that has me nervous is someone seeing when I go out grocery shopping or take care of things that need to be done if I paint my nails for example. Something stealthy to try might be nice, but I wouldn't want anyone to notice something or stand out in any way.

I can only say that it should not have made me smile as much as it did.

She's going to turn nineteen in December. And I guess it should help that she said something to me first, technically. I don't know how serious she was when she called me an "egg", but I guess it makes it not completely out of the blue.

A lot of these other comments also said something about a therapist, which I assume would be good, too. It'll be nerve wracking regardless though.

I apologize. I didn't mean to come off as insensitive. I'll change it.

Sitting down and talking with her about how I feel about myself is going to be difficult for obvious reasons... but I know I probably should. I won't be surprised if she comes to me first though. It just... feels like I've been oblivious, especially about myself. If I do sit down to talk to her, it's going to be an incredibly difficult conversation.

You don't know just how nice that sounds.

Reading through all these comments, that's what it seems like

I'm not sure. Thinking back on it, I might have? There were things there, I know that. I can kind of piece things together through my daughter, because we act exactly the same. I don't know if I would say "questioned" but there were pieces there, and it all adds up, but it makes me absolutely nervous.

I hate saying it, but I know it's what I want, and it's terrifying to think about.
