Don’t let it pass without being true to yourself This past year, I came out to my father as transgender more than 100 times.
My father is 92, and dementia has started setting in. Actually, he worked until he was 90, and, physically, he is fine. But his short-term memory is really bad.
I remember the first time I told him I was transgender; Gosh, it was really hard. I was overwhelmed by so many emotions. I had already told my brothers, and my father was next in line.
He is such a nice guy. After I told him, he said he would keep it a secret and not tell my brothers or anyone else. I told him it was okay, that my brothers already knew.
