Hey all
Just felt like sharing my day a little, definitely a roller coaster.
So it started pretty awesome with my beloved Denver Broncos winning the Super Bowl.
Then I went into Melbourne city to check on my girlfriends handbag that was being repaired in a big department store. I suddenly felt Weird going through the makeup department, through all the beautiful woman's clothes. I was waiting at the counter and saw myself in a mirror. I had my Broncos shirt on, beard growth, I looked like such a guy. I got out a little shaken and nearly started crying right in the street. I've always tried to keep positive but it just suddenly hit me how hard being trans is, especially when your getting your head around it yourself.
Then a little while ago, whilst we lay in bed I told my girlfriend casually I was kinda transgender (first person I've told) She was looking at her phone and just said 'that's nice' (such a British response). 'You don't care do you' I said. 'Nah' she said. She then gave me a cuddle fell asleep.
So a real up and down then up day. I finished with a smile :angel:
Go Broncos

I'm glad your girlfriend took your coming out so well, and that your team won. :)
