coming out to grandmother?
ben here with a quick question. since i’ve gotten my mother’s permission to start t under 18, and i see my grandmother a lot, i’m going to have to tell her. she’s 86 this year, and very old fashioned in some ways, but was very accepting when i told her about liking girls and seems to be okay with trans* people, when i brought it up last week. but she might react differently if it’s someone in her family.naturally once i’m on t there’ll be certain physical changes that will be impossible to miss, so i’ll have to tell her. what do you guys suggest? my mother thought bringing over a movie about an ftm, like a documentary or something, watching it with her and then bringing it up would work. what do you think? and what movie would work best? hit me up here!
thanks!
Honestly, I would suggest just telling her.
That’s what I did with my grandmother.. I just came right out and told her.. and she totally surprised me. She was SO accepting and understanding. Yours could react the same way mine did. You don’t really need any fancy bells and whistles. Just sit down with her and have a heart to heart or tell her over the phone.
I didn’t think she’d be okay with it, since she’s older.. and my mom thought she’d freak out because she did.. but she totally didn’t. She wound up being the only person in my family who accepted me.
