Coming Out
7 years ago
General
So after the events of last week, I realized that I need to start being myself. The false masculine persona I put on in public does more harm than good. So I finally started wearing women's clothing in public. My mom (who is extremely awesome btw) took me out shopping, and I have something of a starter wardrobe. :3 Only going to need some more jeans and panties. It feels so great to finally be *myself* all the time.
Of course... with all of that said, the feelings of loneliness and a need for companionship remain. I have gone and made several new friends the last week, and they are wonderful. Most of then are taken, but I knew that already. (Decided to finally make contact with several people I've wanted to be friends with, but was too shy to talk to.) Also trying to re-establish contact with friends I lost touch with.
Anyway, point is, I'm officially out. I am only going by female pronouns IRL, and will be starting on my legal name change as soon as I figure out these forms. I also will have an updated ref sheet from
halcy0n soon, too.

Thank you. I'm into TF of course. I'll check it out later. Even having been on hormones a while, dysphoria still hits, and hard at times.
*Hugs again*

Me too, I've gone on too long without feeling comfortable with myself... as for happiness, I'm pretty sure I've smiled more in the last few days than I have in the entire year. It's great. :3

Thank you. <3 It is more than just courage, I have a lot of people behind me in this. I don't know if I could do this alone. But it was necessary to do this in order for me to live my life.
