Thoughts of leaping in

So as some of you may already know - doubtful really so I shall go over it again - my position regarding coming out to family is, well, laughable. They won't understand, flat out, and I'll get crap from them about being immature or seeking attention, especially the 'So... what's wrong with you?'.

Work is out of the question. I have a new job of all about two weeks and many of the people there are a bit... Funny. The people in my department are open and kind but I overheard some people today who thought I had left the room comment on our 'density' (paraphrasing of course, their words were harsher). I was right outside and clearly heard every word. I guess the conversation was sparked because I was in a rush this morning, I had taken Dimetapp for my congestion, and I must stress, I am not a morning person (we're talking 6.30am). I put the wrong shoes on. *mock horror* Big deal.

Friends... Of the few I have I am not very serious around them and I feel awkward when I try to bring it up, even leading up conversations... I guess I will start with friends though, since I actually spend time around them.

I digress. I have been entertaining an idea as of late. What sort of outcome is to be expected if I were to cut my hair (doing that tomorrow. I'm too lazy to keep cutting it all the time) fully alter my wardrobe (aka actually buy more clothes, I haven't many) and then get on T, perhaps with a psyche evaluation, although I have my own 'other' reasons for avoiding the latter, and fronting up to my family, 'slapping' them with the reality and then pah, what do you make of that?...

Does anybody thiink this course of action works? I mean, in the evasion of the BS people give you. They can't do sod all (double negative Oo) if the deed has been done. I feel I should stress I am immune to emotional blackmail so it is amusing to see them still lay it on. Very childish.

Who else has done this or felt they need to/planning to? I'd love to hear how other people handled it.

The World is Your Oyster - ruthlessly stubborn, prone to biting back and after all your hard work, just that little bit disappointing.

If you mean, what does anyone think if you get on with your own life, dress in a way that makes you comfortable, think what makes you happy and don't seek anyone else' permission, no matter how you dress it up, (coming out for example), then I think it's not only splended I'd go so far to say, regardless of what you do or how well you succeed or anything, you will have my permanent admiration.
