This happened yesterday. And this blog entry will be short, because there's not much to tell. I love my parents, and they love me. Unconditionally. They did not see me being transgender coming at all, so I looked at their blank faces for a few seconds. But then they snapped out of it, and they're supportive. Son or daughter, I am their child. They've heard and seen a lot on the subject in the media, so they were well aware what transgender means. That was about it. I had a fantastic day after coming out to them!

I finally made it outside! Just a short evening walk with my wife, but it was glorious. How's the make up? I'm colourblind, so it's a serious question. Anything with colours is a bit daunting to me.

Dear Emily, Love your hair, dress and makeup. There are wonderful tutorials about makeup on YouTube. Search, "makeup tutorials," on YouTube. May I make a suggestion? Consider having a hairstyle that includes bangs to the eyebrows. Think this will flatter your face. You can also search, "hairstyle tutorials," on YouTube, also. You have beautiful skin! As my dear mother, may her soul rest in peace, used to say, "moisturize, moisturize, moisturize"! This weekend has beautiful weather, and I hope everyone is getting out to enjoy it. My love and warm thoughts to you and your wife . . . Your friend, Monica

You look terrific!

Wow Emily! What an intense way to spend the evening! Great to get a compliment first time out too! 💜

Fabulous story, Emily! And good on you for coming out to a couple of friends. It is scary but it’s part of our journey. Best wishes, Emma
