i just want to say i expressed skepticism in the topic when you were gonna come out to your family because i suspected this would be the reality.

i dont even know if you remember, prolly not, i just wanted to say so.

anyway sorry about your family, this isn't something that words can fix, I think.

might wanna start apartment shopping with some friends.

I don't have any friends that are looking to move.

And the response I got from my mom was unfortunately expected but my great support from friends and co-workers keeps making me ride high and feel optimistic, and then reality crashes down on me.

I really can't overstate to you guys how happy it makes me feel to discuss my transition with people and be treated as the woman I am trying to be. I really wish I could bottle that feeling and show it to my family. There is not a chance in hell that I will "regret" my "choice". My mom doesn't get that most all trans regret is related to trans people feeling so unloved and unwelcome that suffering in the closet would be less stressful to them.
