Quote from: Stottie Girl on April 25, 2026, 12:46:48 PMI do worry that my ex friend will publically out me one day but he hasn't so far (that I know of).

One advantage of being out is that you never have to worry about who knows or who doesn't.

I hope some day you are able to be yourself openly.  I understand you caution with regards to your spouse.  You have to do what you think is best.  But if you are ever able to be out, your stress level will go down.

I don't have a spouse Kathy. Or a partner for that matter. Haven't had one since I was 15 in fact! My female friend is just that a friend, we've known each other since the first day of infant school.

I think my biggest fear is work and most of all my dad.
A wise man once said don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes, that way when you judge him you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Transitioning is not an easy process.  Some days go very nicely, then not so.

Over time, it seems to get a bit easier though.

I do miss the much shorter prep time to get ready to go to work.  You cannot have everything though!

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.
