[Sachita]

I don't have a story but want to wish you the best of luck. I know how hard this must be, having dated trans years and years. Sometimes the first reaction is knee jerk and please be prepared for that. Don't react, act normal and then step away for a little while and let them process this. It might happen quickly, might take a long time and it might even happen in levels. The most important thing is that you spiritually ground yourself and stay centered. The reaction of loved ones can penetrate you like none other. Look at their point of view and be sensitive to what they are going through because ultimately they are concerned for your happiness and welfare. For instance if my grown son told me he was gay I would have a tinge of pain only because I know what a difficult journey it is even in todays times.

As they process call to say hello and do everything how you normally would. Over time they will see that you are still the same spirit and the child they've always loved.

I will pray for you and wish you the very best.
