i haven't been on here much, but i'll give it a try
my name is mara. i've known who i am for a few years now, ever since i had a word to put to what i felt like. when i was younger i would always tell my very close friends "sometimes i wish i was a girl" (and i've since come out to a few of them). i've had a lot of other learning in the past few years, too, and i feel like soon i want to begin living as who i am instead of under this facade. all of my friends know who i am, my close relatives know as well - it's the ones i'm not so close to that i'm worried about, and it's so silly, i shouldn't care about what they think, or what anyone at work thinks, but here i am. i'm rambling, anyway... hello.

Welcome to Susan's.
Your concerns are seen often and it isn't easy to do things you know people you respect will disapprove of.
Hi Mara, welcome to Susan's Place! I'm from Boston. The good news about coming out is once you do it, it's behind you. See you around the site, hugs, Devlyn
