First person I came out to was a boy I liked around when I first started hormones, so about age 17. He was sweet and accepting. I'm now turning 23. All these years in, all my documents changed, my entire family is accepting.

Really, I don't know what I did to get such a wonderful family, but of 6 siblings, my parents, my grandparents, not one of them hasn't come to 100%  accept me (though some struggled for the first year).

Same story with my friends. I'm blessed to have gotten to love and be loved by so many wonderful people.

That sounds like a very good current situation.  Good to hear.  Thank you for sharing.
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.
