It was hard enough to come out. Even with supportive parents. my big hassle was that my brother and law wouldnt let me around my nephews for like 6 months unsupervised because he assumed all gay men are pedophiles. I could not imagine being trans. It hard to be so hard for her in the town you describe. My heart goes out to her. I am glad that in your update that you said she is happy now. It was really great of you to be there for her.
