Hi everyone! I'm Brenna. I have returned here after about two years. The reason I originally dropped of was because I was outed to my family before it was my decision to come out to them. It was due to a vindictive ex who texted information and pictures to my father. He didn't necessarily believe her, but when he did an internet search on my then chosen name it confirmed it. It wasn't this site, but another I had as my user name the name I was known by.
Well, I made lemonade out of lemons, as they say. It emboldened me to come out as trans to my family. They may not accept it, but at least I am not rejected, so it turned out better than I expected.
Alot has happened since then. I have legally changed my name (to a different one I was originally known by), have been living full time for well over a year, am out to everybody who knew me as I was before. Back then, my main concerns were ffs, laser hair removal and electrolysis, makeup tips, clothes, and such.
It is amazing to me how far I have grown. I have had FFS, both laser and electrolysis (I had alot of grey or white facial hair), name and gender changed on drivers license, social security, my job, and even my health insurance. no one takes me as male anymore. I am now actively in contact with SRS surgeons that in network providers with my insurance, for SRS/GRS. I really am looking forward to sharing with you all!
