Tomorrow is a big day for my family [View all]

My daughter's partner is going for his first appointment to start the transition from female to male. He has so much courage. I am very proud of both of them for the courage to be themselves and not be afraid of what anyone else thinks. it's been quite a journey. First I thought she (my daughter) was a lesbian, then she came out as bi, then she tried to fit in by marrying a jerk (guy) then left the marriage and came out completely as a lesbian.....and now...her partner who she thought was a lesbian, has come out as transgender, so I guess that makes her bi again. OR as she says... "I am just me".

It will be wonderful when we are all "just me" someday instead of labels, genders, etc.
