I am very out and visible as a volunteer with 2 Narional groups. One is religious the other political. It would be impossible to avoid my male identity if she wanted to. When my sister refers to me in male pronouns or my nephews call me Uncle, Mom gets upset.
Everyone who saw me grow up gets me and can see a natural evolution.
I find myself wondering how to engage with my Mother in an authentic way.
Has anyone been through anything similar?
Thank you.

I'm sorry Sun, no mine were accepting. I have no pearls of wisdom but patience.
