Hi Laura and Sandra nice to be back amongat you two again
, Laura as for your situation with your mum, I have they same problem but not in the same strength as your's. My dad calls me J or JJ but my mum well what can i say, she starts by using J then quickly reverts back to using my dead male name. So on that side of things i can understand, but for the not seeing me thats different as she is coming round slowly.
I think it could all stem from the old way of thinking....i gave birth to a male so a male i will only accept, please dont let it spoil your Xmas......hugz Julie xx

Thanks for the welcome back Sandra, as to your point of acceptance i am affraid you are right when it boils down to it. The point you made "accept me or forget me, FOREVER" is how alot of us have to live.....not nice i know but its reality......hugz Julie xx

my mum always wanted a daughter and now seems glad that she has one, much to her surprise, but i fear that with my dad i will have the same problems as you have with your mum, if not worse.
my dad is a seething mass of chauvinism and prejudice, and transexuals are never even mentioned in his house. my only hope is that when he realises this is in his own family he will at least try to think more openly about it.
one can but hope...
