When I came out I had to tell my mum three times before she understood that I was transgender. I came out as lesbian earlier that year and now me and my twin were coming out together as trans. Once she understood she was the most supportive person ever and was even prepared to cut ties with her slightly transphobic family. I then told all my friends and class and they were so supportive too. I never could have come out without my family and friends. (Trans FtM/13/Straight)
