I had another therapy session today and it didn't seem like it took an hour, but it did. I remember how scared I was about going to my first gender therapy session, but now I look forward to them! Afterward, I got my other ear pierced. My left ear was pierced almost 20 years ago, but today I finally got the courage to pierce the right. My transition from MtF is slow, but that's ok. I'm taking it one day at a time, one baby step at a time.
Tonight I had dinner with a friend who is transgender. I still present as male (in public) and haven't come out to anyone. I told her that I had therapy today and when she asked me what kind of therapy, I couldn't work up the nerve to tell her it was gender therapy and that I'm trans too. Aside from my therapist, nobody knows. I wanted to come out to her, but fear took over and I couldn't even come out trans to someone who is transgender themselves!
So it's been a roller coaster of a day. Up and down!
