I have been coming out as transgender to more people in my life lately, and the reactions have been positive so far. I really haven't had anyone really have a problem with me being trans, or me wanting to transition. I've been really lucky so far.

Hi Jenna,
It's good to know the universe can be kind sometimes. (I've been pretty lucky so far too, so that makes two of us.)

It is amazing when life surprises us with something positive. I was all but certain my dad would reject me, even my sister-in-law thought it would not go well. We were both amazed when he accepted me. In fact, I have not lost anyone who mattered in my life, friend or family. The biggest obstacles I faced were all in my mind.
Keep moving forward Jenna!
Love always -- Jessica Rose

That's excellent, glad to hear it! It's been positive for me too, though I'm sure the small minority of local haters are keeping their voices low & whispering amongst themselves. By & large, their negative opinions won't change my direction, though it is so good to receive the general thumbs-up from the majority. Well done you!

I am glad to hear that, Jenna.
I, too, have had only positive experiences, and I have been out for more than a year and a half.
