Hi everyone,
Just a little update.
Four months ago I mentioned I had started a new job. Sadly I had to quit two months ago. It just wasn't me, it didn't bring any fulfillment, and the time I had left at home for other things wasn't enough to change or counter that. Also my transition was asking a lot of energy psychologically. I already had explained my situation to the staff, they kinda understood, had no problem with me being transgender and in transition, even allowed me to come to work as I felt, but when I eventually asked to work partly from home, or at least part time for some time, I was suddenly not doing my job good enough anymore and they didn't believe that working parttime would help me. I'm on sick leave now untill september when I will start teaching again in my old school after two years of absence.
In good news, my transition is going well. My official name-change is being processed (it takes about 6 months in Belgium) and for about a month now I'm only leaving the house as Helena. I don't hide anything anymore and I really feel comfortable about it. I'm happy with myself, with the changes happening to me, with the image I see in the mirror, and with my hair that's getting longer and longer.
