I firstly came out to a girl who is tough, a party girl, and overall one of my distant friends now since I left the technical school during HS. I was fond of how she could handle herself while there was males being 85% of the Welder's class. I ended up being taught by the girls in class after the textbook work and safety instruction because I look like a very feminine combination of my parents and my mom is one o many idols. Plus I was one of the first-years so none of the guys would have been comfortable to guide one another hand in hand. Became friends with the gals and the guys around me before class ended that day and so they made the connection 'last minute teach me person' until the next two days where I began welding after practice and confidence strengthening of me being able to have it second knowledge sooner or later. I got to know the gal and upon listening from her that she's Pansexual that she must be able to help me identify who I am from the LGBT community tree so we talked for awhile and no one is an expert of me than me so when I explained everything that was that and I am a transgender female she believed. Little girl in me was comfortable talking about it. And she was amazed and then pursuaded me into me sitting down with my parents about the late news that I hadn't ever brought to light without putting two in two for my parents. Even at an early sign as a child of liking the feminine laundry and trying to put it on (seems odd but it can be taken many ways). Trying out shaving to see if it's for me and not wanting to grow any. Shaving made me think of a way to escape being seen as male and cut my upper lip. Then there was later on questioning myself and dysphoria grew after childhood trauma. Which lead to unspeakably negative behaviors that has brought me to years of me seeking psychology services recently. I received some treatment services after coming out. Coming out was still new territory after talking with my parents then to my siblings (still is having to have to deal with peoples' wrong pronouns and misgendering since I came out four years ago or so - main family has gotten alot better though) and relatives until I had joined the GSA near me and LGBTQ friendly youth conventions. I have a sister whom I am jealous of and she accepted me as her sister in recent years thankfully. She came out as Bisexual. But yeah that's me. I am me and that's Unique. -Tiffany. Here's me today, four years later without blockers or meeting a state certified transgender verifying psychiatrist.
