Title: I'm Back new and improved. Well not so new
Post by: michael 19 jones on October 14, 2009, 02:32:02 AM
Well this is more of an update since my last post.

I've came out to all of my immediate family members and closest friends. Parents are being a bunch of (insert bad word here) heads and saying one and not doing another. My older Sis is by far now my biggest support I have in my family. ;D As for my younger brother, he has been having a tough year dealing the cops. He knows I just don't want to talk to him about me being trans and try to support him in this. For My closest Friends, most of them are very confused about it but are accepting of it. The closest of the closest is fulling accepting of it and to boot, it's a male and straight. He still surprises me when out of the blue, he asked something about me being trans that he just doesn't get. All of those times it just  us two alone.

I gone to the support groups as Amrisa for year now. I still get wowed when walk into a store with my support group friends and pass a young women. Gash, I'm not even on hormones yet. I've found out that this decision is the right one. When ever I show myself as Amrisa, my confidence, self esteem, and core self just expand almost without limit.

As of right now. I'm stuck at my parents' place, paying for rent, and not allowed to "crossdress" in front of them. My car is dead and there is no way to repair it. I'm trying to get myself a loan to get new and new insurance. Also been going through bouts of depression of trying to deal all of this crap right now. Luckly my closest friend tries to keep me occupied when he notices.

So this is the up date. Oh yah, almost forgot a few things. I'm still attending college and I'm out to a choice few staff members and the GSA Club for which I'm now the prez. of. Not attending college as Amrisa. I know that part sucks and only part time now.

Any help would be welcomed.

Hey! Welcome back to the forums :)

I'm glad that while they are confused, everyone is accepting, that is great news ;).

Looking at your profile pic, when you said you weren't on hormones I was honestly in shock, you look great!!! I wish you the best in your transition!

I'm not sure what help I can give, except that I am excited for any of the good news, and that we're here for you in any of your complications right now. I know how hard it is to live with your parents still, I was the same way and hated it :-\
