Thank you everyone for your encouraging words and stories, they are very helpful and quite pleasant to read  :)

And blue, I find your story comforting really. I know there are some people that will want out of my life because they don't want to be bothered with the oddness of it all, but that is their loss. Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. It's sad that your parents reacted that way but hey, it's probably better to have the cancer cut out of your life.

Fear of how my brother would react to my coming out kept me in the closet for decades. When I came out he accepted me and has been one of my biggest supporters. He always knew I was a girl.

Just goes to show you never know how people will react until you know how they react.
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

Muffinpants, I'm glad, because that's exactly what I was trying to say - I'm better off without them (and SHE sure as heck is!), and I really like that motto.

Hopefully everyone will adjust, and accept both of you.

So I just wanted to give an update on how my gf and I are doing and I thought it might be neat to add it onto here where it all kinda began! :P She had her first appointment with the endo on the 29th, with Dr. Allen Burris (who is soo nice and awesome, btw). I went with her and everything went swimmingly! She got her scripts and has started her spiro already and starts her estro next week :3 Things are all fine with the parents too! Her mother came around and keeps an interest in how shes coming along with it all, her father knows it's happening, but he still ignores it.. which i guess is better than fighting it? Shes still on their insurance, we still live in their home, and her meds are super cheap. Things couldn't have gone smoother, imo and I can't wait to see the changes in her!! <3 also, as for myself, since her coming out I have begun to feel SO much more comfortable in my gender. Idk if her dysphoria was rubbing off on me or what but wow, what a difference I feel!! Also, we've sorta started a poly/openish relationship, which is also working out great. But yeah, I just figured for anyone who cared, I'd update! I'm so happy and excited that this is finally happening :D
