I've been away from these forums for so long, it's almost like I'm a new member again. I've actually missed a lot ofthe people here, even if no-one knows me.

I figured I'd come back now that there's more of an understanding between me and the other person in this house-in a roundabout (but clear enough) way, I've come out as being trans to my dear father. As I suspected, he knew about it all along, and is kind of bitter about it, but not at me. He attributes it to my "faulty genetics" on my mother's side-which I have no knowledge of, but appearently "degenerates, perverts, queers and etc." abound on my maternal line. Plus I expressed/attempted suicide as a child for reasons I couldn't explain, was introverted, and many "typical" signs of a young TS. Looking back, I can't see how it wasn't obvious...but now it's out there, and it's not so bad.
I've pretty much holed myself up, only leaving the house for groceries once a week-that's the not-so-good news.
In lighter news, I tried my first pair of high heels (something I've wanted to try for a long time) and it felt so natural. I was wobbly, but I felt...good, natural. So...yeah, that's the point of this post-I've told my dad (who I was afraid would kick me out, but I couldn't bear it anymore) and I tried on some shoes-a big step forward for me!
Love to you all.
