Coming out, and questions about chest surgery.

Hey all, my name is Jess. I have a couple of things that I want to talk about.

First of all, I wanted to say that I just came out to my dad today as Transmasculine. He was actually pretty cool about it. We'll see how he acts later.

Now, this may sound kinda weird, but I'm actually guilty for coming out to him. Well, not really for coming out to him, but for doing it to him before I did to my mom. My parents are divorced, and I have very different relationships with them. My dad and I don't really get along that well; we fight a lot, and just tend to clash quite often. On the other hand, I get on really well with my mom. We're really close, we talk all the time, and we hardly ever fight. I feel really bad for telling my dad about this part of me before telling my mom, due to the fact that I'm not as close to him as I am with my mom. I guess it kind of makes sense when I think about it: since I'm not as close to him, I wouldn't care as much if our relationship changed, or if he treated me different than I would if my mom and my relationship did. If that makes sense. I guess I'm just worried that even though I know my mom loves me unconditionally (for which I'm really really lucky and extremely grateful), she won't be as close to me when she finds out I'm her son and not her daughter. I'm planning on telling her as soon as I can though. Hopefully I'll muster up the courage by tomorrow or the next day.  

-sigh- Well, I guess that part of the journal was just kind of a rant. Sorry about that, hope it was okay. I'd appreciate any insights or anything others might have to say about this issue. The next reason for my blog entry is fairly simple: I have a quick question to those guys on here who have had or know a lot about chest reconstructive surgery.

I know that in most chest reconstructive surgeries the surgeon will remove the nipple and the aureola, and then use a skin graft to reposition, resize, and replace them back onto the chest. I was wondering what sort of sensitivity the nipples had after healing properly. I apologize if this is a stupid or ignorant question, it's just something I've been wondering about. I really appreciate any responses. Sorry for writing such a long post, just things that I have on my mind. Thanks again. -Jess
