anthonystarkSo, since it's National Coming Out Day, Ally and I decided to tell my mom, finally, about the whole transgender thing. This is EXACTLY how it went:
Us: So do you know why TJ changed their name?
My mom: *mumbles something we couldn't make out*
Us: Well, it's because TJ's transgendered.
My mom: Is this what you called to tell me about before I go to work tomorrow morning?
Us: Yeah.
My mom: Okay, bye. *click*
So that went over exactly as expected. AWESOME.
EDIT: Oh, Al (mo mother's dumb as shit boyfriend or whatever) just called my phone. I didn't answer and let it go to voice mail. His message? "You should KNOW this number and I want you to know that your mother is VERY, VERY UPSET." Oh, hold on, Ally got a call too. He bitched at her about unimportant stuff and then said, "Oh you shouldn't have told her, her DAUGHTER should've and it wasn't your place."
....I have no words. For one, hi, NOT DAUGHTER ANY MORE. Two, how is it not Ally's place? She speaks for me ALL the time and I thought she'd be the more rational of the two of us (IE: not screaming, swearing, etc) to explain things.
FFS.
