Hi my name is alish. a lot has happen over the last year and a half to two years. I have moved from Indiana to Wisconsin and live there about 4 to 5 mounts. From Wisconsin I move back to my home state of new York . In ny I started visiting local support groups and started making new friends. I’m going out as my self living my female self out side of work. Now I am on hormone and working electrolysis. I also found a good therapist. I’m very happy with the changes I made and so great full I’m moving forward with my transition.
Right now I am working as a HVAC tech presenting as male. Its becoming harder to hide my true self as each day passes. Thing can be much worst. When I look in the mirror, I see a girl growing up and the image fits on how I feel. I am starting to feel much better about my self. I still have a long road a head and working hard to live full time. As I am transiting I have learned a lot about my self and the world around me. It has made me more open minded and a better person

Alish, welcome back. I am transitioning on the job myself having worked 7yrs in HVAC and now building repair for our university. If you have not read the book "True Selves" you may want to do so and in the back there are some reflections by those who contributed to the book. There is one that speaks of the woman in the glass. When you mentioned the mirror I thought of this right off. I want to wish you the best.

Alice, True Selves was written by Mildred L Brown and Chloe Ann Rounsley. The poem in the back is not signed so I am not sure who wrote it.
