Title: I'm finally making the big step!!
Post by: Kadence1 on December 22, 2016, 01:53:19 PM
I've finally, for the most part, accepted myself as a transgender woman, and decided I NEED to do something about it again. My last attempt at transition was pretty bad.... there was minimal communication between me and those around me when it came to ->-bleeped-<- so everyone was on a different page, I didn't even have a name picked out (I do now!! Kadence.) and I didn't even come out to everyone.... just my sister, mom, grandma, boyfriend, and his family. It was a bad attempt, and I came off hormones and went back into hiding. Well, as I have said, I need to start transitioning again. I've been in a really bad, dark, place lately, and it's from years of lying to myself and pushing my true identity further down inside of me. So, this January, I'm going to put my big girl panties on, come out to the rest of my family, friend groups, Facebook etc., start HRT again, and live life as me-Kadence! As relieving and happy as I feel, I'm also terrified. But, being in this dark place is more terrifying. So here's to a new year, and a better me!



-I also plan on getting my YouTube channel back up, so make sure to subscribe (; I want to follow my transition as well as do other kinds of videos.

Congrats. In some ways your first go at transition sounds a lot like mine...only came out to a few, was very selective about when and where I'd go out presenting female. I was pretty overwhelmed at the time, but this is natural...coming out and living as ourselves is a massive step. Use any and all support you can find - be that from family, friends or professionals. At first it might feel like one step forward, three steps back...but in time it becomes one long stride forward :)
