Those of you who are regulars in the MLP threads already know this... just posting this for everyone else...
A couple days ago, I revealed on my Tumblr that I'm transgender. Born male, given the name Timothy after my dad, nicknamed Beau by my parents (which was actually related to something my dad was called when he was younger that he didn't like).
However, for several years now, I've known that I'm actually female. My friends online all know now and I've so far gotten nothing but encouragement and support. And I thank everyone for that.
I have to live a double life as my parents don't know, and I'm honestly worried as hell if I say anything to them about it.
From now on, because of this, you may call me Taylor, or Tay for short, while I'm still Beau to my relatives.

Again, as I've said countless times, as long as it makes you happy, I wish you nothing but the best.

In all honesty, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what your parents think. This is your life and you will live it any way you want. It will be awesome if they accept who you are and if they don't, screw 'em. Yeah, that will suck, but you can't change who you are. Best of luck.

It takes alot of courage to admit these sort of things even in an online setting. Kudos to you for doing so.

I believe this site (as well as many others) could use more transgendered people. Thought that might be my own personal attractions talking. Either way, good for you and I hope your parents are able to accept you for who you are.

There's nothing wrong with being transgender and it takes courage to admit it. You my friend, have my upmost respect.
