βTo whoever needs this: A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. A name change on all the forms, every single day. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. You're not on your own.β
βComing out is scary and messy. Not everyone will react well, but some will surprise you. Your journey is yours, and you don't owe anyone an explanation. Take your time. And find at least one person who sees you for who you are. They're out there.β
βA note for the next person. I was where you are nearly four years ago. For me it was starting HRT. I've started painting again. From someone who gets it.β
βTo whoever needs this: I was where you are this time last year. Came out to my parents at Christmas, every single day. I got a new job this spring. You get yourself back in pieces. One day at a time.β
