I have felt a lot better since coming out in September.A huge weight off of me too.I knew as a child growing something was not right with me.Inside,felt I was really female.My parents and two younger sisters somehow knew there was something wrong through the years.I came out to them in September and they are slowly coming to terms to a loss of a brother having a new sister/daughter.My wife and 3 daughters,they are still in my life.Knew we had to stay together as a family.I remember the first day I started living as Heidi,went into the beauty salon saying goodbye to the old me.Had my hair done including permanent hair extensions put in,nails and make up done.I loved seeing myself as Heidi for the first time after getting dressed.Have not looked back and now happy.I decided to go this way instead of transitioning.My wife says I a much better person now and her family has been great about it.My wife has been a great help,she helped me buy my new wardrobe and learned from her very well.Wife and I love doing things together more too,shopping and getting our nails done together are a couple of them.

Hello, Heidi, and welcome!
Congratulations on coming out! That is great that your wife and family are supportive. It makes it so much easier.

Workplace,things are great now.It took time for my boss and co workers come to terms about it.They see I am just a normal co worker.Every piece of male clothing is gone from my closet.
