Well after a few whirlwind months I'm finally out.
I did it in a not very subtle way, sent birthday invites to a lot of friends & a day before the party invited them all onto my new social media pages.
Responses were overwhelming, and everybody bar one person showed up on the night.
I'm fully out at work (very scary in a Male dominated job) but truly loving life.

I'm still facing serious issues with my wife but that's the only negative in a truly positive experience

I wish I had had the courage to face this years ago, it's nowhere near as scary as you imagine in your own mind when thinking of telling people.
Now when I get messages, which I do a lot I reply yes I've changed yes its true and yes that's me, whether you accept or not is your decision but this is mine so please respect it.
It really is easy to be free if you have the courage to make the first steps, yes I know I've a long way to go & being 6'2 I'm not exactly able to hide but I'm me, if anyone shouts stuff so what. They're not important in my life they can do what they like.
As long as I've got great friends and family I'm fine.

The best thing so far, walking into a clothing shop and realising that nothing is out of bounds anymore.

Truly liberating to be yourself, one life go live it.
Be responsible for your happiness and dont let others judge.
They'll come with you or they wont either way live, smile and be bloody happy xx

Hi Soph,

Congratulations on taking this big step!

Hello again Soph

It was wonderful to meet you at the biannual UK Meet Up in Manchester on March 16th and I look forward to seeing you again at the next one which I know you are kindly arranging for October in the South probably in Brighton.

I am delighted that you are now fulltime both at work and at home and that you have retained your family and your friends; I hope your wife eventually comes round to accepting you which must be the one painful aspect at present.

As you know I am now 15 months HRT and going full time on moving house. My house has been "sold" for the second time but as it was "sold" previously and pur->-bleeped-<- withdrew, I am not "counting my chickens". If things go to plan, I hope to be fulltime mid-June but I fear it may be a little later. I would be really disappointed if I have to wait beyond July.

Just like you and millions of others, I am doing this for the sake of authenticity and liberation and wish also I had dealt with this years ago but that wasn't to be. I took action in 2017 and as I say will be fulltime soon and even then, there will be much to do - social/doctors/surgery etc.

I also don't give a damn if a few bigots  - one of whom is a now a former friend - judge me negatively. No longer am I going to live my life for the sake of others. Coincidentally this afternoon is in fact the time of my quarterly Decapetyl/Triptorelin injection. For decades buying clothes was a chore. Now I love it. So much variation and colour but more relevantly, it feels just right!

We both have a wonderful time ahead of us; no more acting, no more lying, true to ourselves and free!

Once again congratulations, you must be feeling "Top of the World". Enjoy this month, the rest of the year and the rest of your life!

Special Hugs today!

Isn't that a great feeling? congratulations on freedom Soph...things get better each day we are set free, a little at a time until we live in harmony with our surroundings and selves!
