Your parents should still love and support your life decisions no matter what. They may act or say differently, but deep down they still care for you.
Much respect.

Congratulations (and a whole lot of respect) on having the courage to be yourself, and I'm hoping you'll be able to find true happiness because of it. I wish the absolute best for you.

Good for you. So long as you're honest with yourself, you're going to be a lot happier. Best of luck going forward.

I'm happy for you. As more and more people learn to love and respect themselves (and one another), the world becomes a better place.

Good luck with your transition, I started mine 5 years ago around this time and I remember how scary it all seemed. I'm definitely happier now that I've gone through it and have settled into a life where I feel comfortable with how people relate to me and that I'm not being received as or having to pretend that I'm something I'm not. If you ever want to talk about anything don't hesitate to PM me.

Nobody knows how much time they have in this world. You need to live it in an attempt to maximize your own happiness.
A wise person gave me this advice years ago. It holds up. Don't worry about other people.

If you ever want to talk about anything don't hesitate to PM me. The same goes for me. I haven't exactly taken the "traditional" path but I still have a lot of insight I can share, as well as resources that may be able to help you out. Plus just regular old emotional support.

Congrats for having the b@lls (?!) for coming out. Don't care about what anyone else has to say. It's your life to lead the way you want to. Stay strong and stay happy

Well, goes without saying you know the road ahead will be tough, dealing with people far less sympathetic and more judgmental than we are.
Therefore, know you will find support here in the tough times and respect and best wishes for you in the future now.
Good luck, best wishes and, yes, even prayers for your happiness and courage.

I've had plenty of my own gender identity issues over the years, so I can definitely relate. Glad you've finally found yourself and you're comfortable with who you are.
I wish you nothing but the best of luck on your journey, and like others have said, I'm here for advice if you need anything.

Coming out is hard, but I fully respect you.
I came out to an IRL friend of mine last week, who asked about my sexuality. I got very embarrased, but it was in town and we were talking in public. I'm sure in private, with your parents, it'll go along smoothly.

Don't think I got the chance to weigh in on this, but happy for you for coming to terms with it and I hope for the best moving forward.

I mean this in the best possible way, but I could not care less. I have never understood other people's incessant need to have a say in how other people live their lives. If you have no actual impact on my life, why should I have an impact on yours?
Edit: Don't get me wrong, I think it is a brave thing to do. Choosing your happiness over the possible objections of others is not easy. I just don't see why that pressure should be a reality.

Good Luck telling your parents! I hope they're cool about it. I really like the name Taylor btw, I kinda wish it were my name hahaha. Just wondering, how'd you chose the name?
