Okay, I'm tired, but just wanted to share! In the past month and a half (after getting a new job where I unexpectedly got gendered as female more than male) I've really began to "blossom!" I've started deliberately presenting as female at work, and my boss is supportive, although not the most educated on this subject.. actually on Halloween he confronted me about cutting my hair which almost resulted in the loss of two other employees who were going to quit just like that, because they're awesome and great allies and friends... Ultimately I told him my reasons why I couldn't cut my hair, after lots of tears, lol!! Anyway he said if anyone gave me any trouble to come to him.. that's all good but it gets better!
My mother spoke to me a few days ago and she said that she and my dad support and love me no matter what, which of course brought on the makeup killing crying! I've chosen a name, Damara, and am using it at work and on FB, to overwhelming positive response! Omg... still trying to find a therapist and endo, and money is an issue but all of these bridges being crossed safely are just giving me such joy. I am so thankful! And I thank all of you for your support and love as well! Hugs! Okay, time to sleep! Oh, but first.. is it possible to change our names on here? Now that I have a name I'd love to use that here! :)

Hi! That's all great news, congrats. If you want to change your name you have to PM a mod and with the new name request to make it official. You get two changes a year.
