I love my momma bc although she and I don't usually see eye to eye she's been mostly tolerant of letting me do whatever I will with my transition for the most part, but today, after a stressful breakup and then bonding for the rest of the day she told me after the conversation topic came up of hormones and testosterone (as I've talked with her about what I've noticed about testosterone as a hormone having started taking it) and she said that she's actually noticed how stable I've become since I started the testosterone (as in I was unstable when I started, and I replied with "they call it second puberty for a reason") which flattered me (we weren't talking face to face but through a door) but then she followed up with how she's actually looking forward to seeing what kind of person I become by "going down this path" and it made me so happy bc it's the first sign I've seen in a while of her actually being able to become supportive which I've held out hope bc she was tolerant and accepting of my other transition steps (although, as I said, unsupportive) that she could change and for a while I was starting to loose hope but this one sentence rekindles that hope that my momma who I wasn't allowed to know most of my life could actually be a full supporter of my life journey ❤️🩹
She even changed her boundary on my transition, where it used to be "no surgical transition, closest exception being breast reduction" she literally said she now only cares about "don't change your DNA", which is a HUGE step in my perspective, as top surgery is next on my list and I was wondering how I'd bring it up to her since I'd need her for transportation/recovery post-op.
