I have not really posted in awhile, but I am still checking up on the forums now and then to see new posts and stuff. For the most part I have just been so busy with life between work and family. I have made a ton of progress towards my transition goals.
I came out as transgender to my parents. This always felt like an insane thing to do, but it actually ended up resulting in a lot of relief and happiness. I literally spent what felt like eternity contemplating this over and over. I ended up just forcing myself to do it over the phone individually. The most surprising thing was that my parents were not at all bothered by it. I always thought that they would tell me it was wrong somehow. Despite the fact that I do not believe it is wrong, it had me feeling like I was wrong anyways because I assumed that this would be how they felt. It turned out that they didn't think it was wrong (crazy rigght). Now I feel so much better about what I am doing and just feel much happier and more free than ever before! They both understand that I'm taking steps to transition like getting HRT and so forth.
I am also getting HRT soon *hopefully*. I already have the HRT letter from therapist and an appointment set up in the next few days. I feel like I need this, I can't wait, and hopefully soon I will have made that milestone
Just these two things alone have made me feel so much happier lately.
