I Came Out to My Family

Recently I took another step towards my new life by telling my 18 year old daughter that I am transgender. It was a huge shock to her and she was quite confused but she did say she was supportive of me which made me feel better. Though she still thinks of me as her dad

Very brave of you, and it shows how well you've raised your daughter to be so accepting of your sexuality..

@KaraLuvz you are very welcome and I am looking forward to getting to know you more.

I'm glad you were able to get over that hurdle. 🤗 You know she'll always think of you as her dad. That's something that is difficult to change. It's been a lifelong habit for her.

Yeah I know it is but I was just hoping @SW-User

@KaraLuvz I understand. This is just the beginning. You're smart enough to know any immediate change in someone's life requires time to adjust. It'll take time for you to transition. Watching you and keeping up the conversation between you will allow her the time she needs to view you in a different light.

Yes I know @SW-User
Good for you -and she should see you as dad. You cannot be her Mother as you DID NOT bring her into this world. I am the same and my the grown adults I let call me dad as I WAS and am their dad. Even though they are independent now and not exactly in need of one. It's the one thing those that have legally had the change from M to f or F to M can''t change.

But to the rest of the world you cab demand she/her/hers and expect to get it. Womb or not (and that is not possible-yet)

Yes that confuses sex and gender a bit-something I hate and I'm far smarted to know the differences-but I also understand her completely and she is RIGHT!
