I’d call this a win and love. Being open to being wrong is a great quality.

I see some people here not recognizing that this is a great development, or enough or whatever. These things take time for society to adjust to. Going from being skeptical / negative to a full blown ally is unreasonable to expect from someone in a short timeframe.

Being open to change and different opinions is something we should always support. That path might be rocky and hard, sometimes almost impossible.

For the sake of diplomacy and making him even more supportive seriously consider getting that “second opinion”, even though it might feel valueless for you. He just wants to make sure that you don’t make a huge irreversible mistake.

Makeup, dressing in clothes and taking some hormones or whatever is one thing, irreversible surgery is another thing. So I kinda get where he is coming from, but you probably know what’s best for you.

Anyways, good luck, and I wish you the best going forward, and am happy this is going in the right direction for you 🌈❤️
