Hello there again, My name Is Anaeta Desiree
Well, after I posted my previous introduction my computer crashed and died.... I am now in month 4 of my transition.... It is overall Going Very Well and I have Absolutely no regrets. I have had many successes, a few hiccups but am moving forward with it as best I can. I live in Northern California (Humboldt County and while i have had a few hostile/snide comments I have had had no major problems. You see, I decided that when I started my transition that I was going to live full time as a female. I have not regretted it... I am a much happier person and as I said earlier, while i have had a few snide comments i have had no real problems. I have also come out on Facebook to my circle of friends which included not only my family, but also many former classmates and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. the only real negativity has been from my former wife but like the strangers i have had make comments she has also been ignored as well.
How is life as a female.. Well, while the learning curve has been steep in some areas I am doing quite well, I am going to be moving into a new place soon(VA Transitional Housing) and getting the services I need to not only restart my life but do so in a structured and safe environment ( while i have had no real problems there are some in my RV park who are definitely hostile towards me but hold it back because of my reputation I had shown as a male. Lets just leave it at I was not a nice person and the associates i had show up also scared the hell out of many residents. the Marine stickers and NRA stickers etc. but that is in the past. I am a much nicer person as a woman.. I have built a very strong support system and am working on getting Dialed in on local services. I volunteer in the community at a local thrift store which has helped greatly in building a very nice wardrobe for almost nothing.
) My classmates and other friends stated how they admire me for my courage and how it was an inspiration I am to the which blew me away given in high school i was the outcast. My transition also has brought healing between my mother and I whose relations had been strained greatly by my actions as a male.
I am looking forward to continuing my journey to full womanhood... by years end I will be working in my trade as a woman (gunsmith) and also have changed my name and gender on my ID... The hiccups I have encountered have been minor for the most part and and I said i hAVE ABSOLUTELY NO REGRETS.
In Grace and Love
Anaeta Desiree
