Valerie, nothing worth doing in life is easy. If it is, it means nothing.'

I am proud of you for taking the steps you have taken. You have not given in to the paralyzing fear that is all too prevalent. You can do this, honey. You can.

You're most of the way there.

You've got this.
Well that's very true but I think I'm still ruled by fear unfortunately. I wish I wasn't. That's why  I'm taking a steady stepped approach to transition. The more things I can get right before being out there the less scared I feel. Things are happening so fast (at least for me) since I came on here. I am so afraid of confrontation it holds me back.

I know, Sarah. Wishing something doesn't make it not a thing. That's why you have me. To bounce everything off.

For what it's worth, though, you are far more courageous than you ever thought you were. You just can't see it. I see it.

I'm not courageous when it comes to transitioning I feel like a fraud when in the company of so many people on here who have made the leap. It is very inspiring though.

Girl you post your picture here. I have been here since 2008 and the number of people who know what I look like can be counted on one hand... of someone who has been in an horrific farming accident.

Don't sell yourself short, Sarah.
