Honey You just Gotta Walk in there and Tell yourself

Keep your Head Held High
Because You have a Reason To
Let your Inner Queen out for
You are Queen Bee and They Are all your Workers

You'll do Just Fine

Thanks Jocelyn, you make it sound so easy.Ill try my best.

Spacial,I do continue like it didnt happen.But how is it to be prevented alltogether?It rarely happens to begin with.It only happens to me when im extremely nervous.

I doubt you can.

But think of how others might react. Some might be embarrassed for you, others might find it funny. Of those two, the second seems best and a little laugh will break the ice. It will also help those who do feel awkward.

You have nothing to doubt yourself over. You're beautiful, intelegent and let's face it, you couldn't be more honest if you gave them your personal diary.

You have absolutely nothing to lose here. You haven't met these people in years. If you didn't go, you wouldn't really miss them. You have nothing to prove. All you're doing is walking in and saying Hi everyone. Remember me? I use to be that guy. Now I'm this girl. So, what have the rest of you been up to then? Anything interesting?

For you, it's win win. Even of you come away with every one of them resenting you, you still have lost nothing. But I seriously doubt that will happen.

One thing occurs. As I think I said, I went to an all boys boarding school. But sadly, I haven't managed to transision. If I had and went to a reunion I'm pretty certain some would be asking me some questions that may seem a little personal. They wouldn't be doing it for meanness. Mean people would make mean comments. It would be genuine interest.

If someone asked me, for example, if I've had it chopped off, I think I'd respond with something along the lines of looking directly at them and saying, That's not how it's done. If they asked me if I'm all woman, I'd say, All of me.

But don't get too hung up on this. If it happens, just play by ear. You have nothing to lose, nothing to prove.

I don't know your old friends of course or the relationship you had previously. But I wouldn't be surprised if a few do get a little over familiar.

It might be something to be prepaired for.

Spacial,I think the 1 thing that will get me through this, is having Michael by my side.It couldnt have happened to me at a better time. He is the organizer of this whole reunion.

is your reunion this saturday? your nerves could be mixed in with excitement. i remember watching this one episode of oprah that was on not so long ago. it was about an mtf transwoman. in high school she tried to be the perfect guy, and she was actually very successful with it. she was the quarterback on the football team, and very popular. the one all the girls wanted to date, and the one all the guys wanted to be like, but all she was doing was overcompensating herself into someone she truly wasn't. she transitioned later on, and is now in a filmmaking career. she ended up going to her high school reunion, and most people were admirable of her, but one girl, not so much. there's actually alot of people who do accept it surprisingly. it's one of those things that you just have to go for, and it can be a very rewarding experience. it sounds like it has been so far for you, and there may even be more on the way.

I've never been to any of my reunions but MUST go when I'm through transition. It could be so much fun. Imagine a fully male class with the macho-factor going sky-high... and I'd be the only woman there. Could be that they won't even let me in saying I wasn't their classmate, but if I somehow could get past the guards I'd like to hear they asking "Is there anything interesting happened to you all these years?" I laugh every time I think of that situation

I think you too should go

Angela,
This has become a very though-provoking thread for me. I've never thought of any of my male friends from college in a seriously romantic way, but every since you've talked about going to the reunion w/your old friend, it's made me realize that there are a couple of male friends who I'd go weak in the knees for if they showed interest in me after I transitioned (even though I'm primarily attracted to CIS and trans women)..

That is good news.

But don't put yourself down. You've had the strength of character to face up to yourself and make these changes in your life. Then you had the strength of character to go to the reunion. Add on all the other problems you've dealt with along the way.

You are a lot tougher than you give yourself credit for. But we all need to find ourselves and discover how much strength we really have. You are going to surprise yourself.
