"I'm trans."
I turned up to my session a complete wreck after last night's utterly botched coming-out-as-questioning talk with a friend I thought I could trust, and by the end of the session I managed to come out and just say it straight. It felt good.
Doesn't make the prospect of waiting a year to see the GIC any easier and if anything my brain being a milliontyone steps ahead of everything else is making me almost physically dizzy, but I said it, meant it, and now we can start to deal with it. Maybe.
Also I got called "pal" three times today and no (mis)gendered terms at all outside of my drama group (where unfortunately I introduced myself to the new term's intake as birthname because I hadn't had a chance to talk to my tutor yet to see about maybe coming out to them and I'm sort of terrified about that idea anyway, but that's a whole other problem)
Congrats! It's a big first step.
Congrats! It's a wonderful feeling to get that out there. Such a big step!
Yay! Every step brings you a little closer to a destination. Thanks for sharing!
Hugs, Devlyn
Awesome! My therapist refers to me by my girl name now, which is awesome.
However she uses the term "transsexual" and even told my wife that I am a transsexual... and does it like it's no big deal...
