So a liger <| sep |> Ricegum has a fake bogo too . <| sep |> I ' m really sorry to hear that you lost that close friendship when you transitioned . I always thought that it was unfortunate that my father and I became alienated in my late teens , but in at least this one sense it helped me get over his refusal to accept me . As for mothers , I ' ve written here before that my mother said the most beautiful and utterly sad thing when I came out to her , that she wished she had figured out that I was trans when I had , as she would have done everything to help me transition successfully as a teen , no matter the obstacles and they were significant then . One of my advisors told me something that sounded right to me about mothers , that the experience of sharing a body with your child through pregnancy makes rejecting them feel almost like rejecting yourself . Few mothers can do that , though of course I know of people whose mothers have been absolutely horrible about their transitions . BTW , how did you find out about your CAH ? Genetic test ? Edited to clarify first sentence and add to end of third paragraph .
