She didn’t call, she waited until late in the night and texted. We didn’t talk about the business. We didn’t talk about me coming out, but we talked about our nails and some things going on with us.

We talked about dinner plans, she dead named me, and told me she loved me.

I’m not even mad about the dead Name, I didn’t tell her my chosen name, so she had nothing else to call me, but it was jarring still.

I hope you all had a wonderful night ❤️💕

    Congrats to you! It's super scary opening yourself up like that.

    It sounds (from this and last post's context) like she's trying to come to terms with it/formulate her response, while also reiterating her love for you. Talking about your nails, was that to do with gendered expression, is she trying to (re)connect with you, get your nails done together or something?

    Good luck with everything, it sounds like you're already well on your way. I hope mum chooses to come along for the ride
