hmm read the article and I have to say it starts off like its letting me in on some secrets I may never have considered, but mabye I have spent too long thinking about transision or mabye I am just weird but nothing on that list was even remotely a shock.
the things that have caught me off guard are the little personal issues, learning to sign a new name, correcting people or at least showing my displeasure when misgendered/named, Getting so use to outing myself that I got board with it, to the point once I just said "ohh ya, I am transgender, been on hormones for a few months, going to start living as a woman soon, and contrary to popular belief I am attracted to women. Any questions? ok cool." I may have made some vague comment about having struggled with it for a long time too still compared to my first tear filled desperate outing it had about as much fear and concern as ordering a pizza with weird toppings.
Serena, who came out so fast she is already jaded.
