Hi kelly , Hi Immortal thanks hugs.
Hug thanks, I'm from east coast also. Transitioning was not so bad for me as I had pretty severe androgen deficiency, so people where already used to me being feminine I think half of them never knew I wasnt female in the first place, those that did where happy I was finally doing something about it, and those that I had to tell I was transitioning were like ok that makes sense.
Of course my family and some friends took it very hard. Lost some friends, made some new ones.
