Hey guys- Or, whoever ends up reading this...?

   So I did come out to my teachers and more or less my school, so far there haven't been any problems for the most part. I am so lucky to have the people around me that I do, they are so supportive and encouraging!

   As for my mother... She's pretty much decided to ignore the matter. Despite the fact that she's told me I can talk to her about anything she has shut me down each time I've tried to talk to her. I asked her if we could talk about it, and her response was "No- No we can't talk about it." and she ran upstairs. Gee do I ever feel loved and supported. Very encouraging for my self esteem. So I'm feeling pretty shitty about the way things are going at home, but am hoping that maybe she just needs some time? Though honestly, I don't understand why anyone cares- a gender is a word. Why does it matter to her what body parts I have- I'm still me. A name doesn't matter, if I'd rather be Leo than Cadence, and that's what makes me happy, so what? Well, we'll see how it goes.

   My aunt has started calling me her nephew, my girlfriend calls me her boyfriend in public now; I am happy with the way I am and I hope sometime my mum can see that.
