I have a couple students that have been so great to me and lucky for this.Their names are Michelle and Nicki,they have known me for 4 years since they were freshman,they are seniors now.Said they will always remember me when they graduate.When I first came out that I was going to come back as female 2 years ago,it was a shock for them at first.When I came back as Lisa 2 years ago,they both came up to me and we hugged.They are great students.Michelle is also my teacher's aide for my 2nd hour in my 4th hour government class.Nicki is in my 1st hour government and my teacher's aide in my 5th hour 9th grade civics class.They don't miss the old me and see I have a better life now being transgendered.They even said I will be getting an invitation from them for their open house June of next year.Plus I have helped Nicki come out about herself 2 weeks ago,being a lesbian and she asked me for advice.I told her be honest about it and took it.

Michelle has helped me out too and comes from a great family.I was looking for a hair salon to get my hair done at and got the door shut in my face being told no.Michelle said her mom will welcome me in and she was right.Her mom said come in and does my hair now.Basically said transgendered women are welcomed in her hair salon too.Does my nails too.

A good support feeling from friends is worth a ton of money spent on a therapist.
Congratulations!

Plus Michelle's mom and I have a great friendship now and relieved she allows transgendered customers in
