Passing a milestone today!

[Dani2118]

I've out in public a few times in some women's clothes. Three days ago I got all dolled up to go to the Doctors office. You should have seen his eyes when I told him I was Transgender! But today was the biggie for me, a friend that doesn't know came by. I had just put supper in the skillet when saw him pull into the driveway, and my first thought was 'hurry and put a t-shirt on over my top' but I didn't. It's a skimpy spaghetti strap top and with my necklace I had to tell him when he came in the door. Yes I was afraid of what he would say, but he was OK with it! YEA!!! Millennials are so much less judgmental it's great. Now I'm finally getting used to dressing female, and I feel SO much better! The people on here have given me the courage to just be me and let the chips fall where they may!

Right on!!!  You live for you.

Hi Dani

   Congrats on beginning the great reveal! It feels so good when it goes right doesn't it. And it is good, good you helping you do it again and again, It does geat a little bit easier the more you do it but  there will be some that will not go so right and other that will flat out go wrong and make you feel like heck, But you cannot let those stop you from becoming who you are.

   More progress, More progress, we want more progress!

  Hugs,
   Laurie

Way to go...good on you. Those kind of friends are the type you need as many of as you can get.

Thanks ladies! I love you all SO much! People just don't realize how brave we have to be. Yesterday I Told my Brother in Law, we've been real close for many years. He said he'd call back later to talk but hasn't. So I know what it means to not go well. Oh well, onwards anyway!

Oh well, onwards anyway!

That's the spirit!

That's awesome you had the courage to present yourself like that!  Its amazing with all the stigma out there how so many people can be supportive.  I think the more vulnerable we are, the more we can find out there are many supportive people.  Of course there will be plenty of people who dont and being vulnerable to that takes a lot that's for sure.  Good luck with your brother, hopefully he's taking time to process it before talking rather than it going to go badly.
