Grandparent recognized my voice!

The not hiding it is what gets me. I haven't talked in length with my mom about trying to come out to my relatives. I'll have to. Talk with her, I mean. Yeah I'm 23, I could just do it, but it's her family too and while she shouldn't decide she should at least know in case people call her. I'm not necessarily afraid but I am changing my name again, so that's a concern too. Don't want people going "I heard about A going by C now" and her be like "It's B". That'll also be fun to break the news to her about. Gonna get a lecture on wasting money lol.

I have a lot of older family, and while my grandmom isn't failing, she's old. I know at this point that if she died I'd either do a half-ass job of passing female at the funeral, or just not show. I'd like to be there, but at another relative's funeral I had a family member who'd never come out to her family show. While 3 years is a little more forgiving than 20, I still wouldn't want to do that at my grandmom's funeral. So, I either come out or don't go.

Sorry, that was a ramble. I'm just thinking about this a lot now. Like I was happy she recognized me and we talked but then that kind of made me realize I have a lot of shit to get together.
