How can i thank my cousin?(long)?

Question

Hi, I'm a 15year old pre-op male-to-female transsexual and i'm currently out to all my friends, I'm out to my perfect girlfriend who I love alot(I fancy girls despite the fact I want to be one) and recently I came out to my cousin who is the first family member I've told besides my unaccepting Mum.

Now on Monday me and my cousin are going Meadowhall clothes shopping(which is to be a honest a first for me, although I haven't got any cash so I'll just be browsing) cos my cousin wants to talk face to face about what I told her and so far she's been very understanding.

Now when i go Meadowhall i will have £4 so I asked her if she knew where I could buy some cheap female underwear or possibly a skirt or dress and she said that if I wanted I could take her old clothes which when she mentioned it, I realised I have nowhere in my room to hide them from my Mum, so my cousin said that whenever I come over to her house we can go to her room and I can try on and wear her clothes and express one aspect of my feminity and she said that if her Mum walks in on us she would understand how i feel.

Btw, i'm not transvestite, just at the moment clothes is one of my only ways of expressing myself and also I love fashion alot. My Mum wants me to be all macho though which isn't gonna work. I already know what i wanna do when i'm older and the sooner I'm a woman the better, i can't stand being a man much longer, lately the only time I'm happy is when i'm talking to my girlfriend.

How can I thank my cousin for being so understanding and also for letting me wear her clothes whenever I'm over?

She's been so great though and whenever I mention going out and having a girly time with her she always seems to think it'd be so cool. She's just been so great and I don't know how to thank her. I mean i maybe out to my mates but they never invite me clothes shopping or anything like that. It kinda makes me feel left out and it also reminds me that I'm currently a boy that i hate but my cousins been so different and so accepting and understanding.

Answer 5

I have an aunt who did the same thing and I love her to death for it. I think that the best thing and the most sincere thing is to explain how much this means to you and how grateful you are verbally, during a lull in your outing. I am jealous of you, I wish I had known what was going on when I was 15. Might have saved me a lot of grief. Best of luck.  

Answer 6

Tell her.  She sounds amazing.

Answer 7

She will be most touched if you simply say it in words. When you're discussing this face to face, just s***w up the courage and say thank you, this means a lot to me and you're the first family member to make me feel accepted for who I am. I'm truly thankful and I'll never, ever forget this.

Sometimes a simple text message that just says something like the above can be the best way to say it. :)

Answer 8

Your cousin sounds lovely and you will get a lot of support there!! Maybe get her a nice card and flowers? just to let her know what she means to you!!
