This year has been a really wild ride. This summer I was homeless, after the latest in a string of abusive relatives kicked me and my girlfriend out of the house because I'm transgender. I got a job and an apartment in the fall, and I am now a training lead at that job. I came out before my initial training class, and the newest recruits only know me by he/him. I'm pre-t with no surgeries, and they do slip up and whip out the she/her maybe once a week or so, but quickly correct themselves without making a fuss. Actually, I don't think I've been misgendered at all this week.
Honestly I think I'm still in shock at how well my life is going right now. I've been out to coworkers for about 3 weeks and the world didn't end. I'm still too shy to use the men's room (there's about 200 people at the site, and only 20 of them know I'm a man, haha), but I'm making progress.
How was your year? Share something bad, something happy, something you're proud of!
