Hello,
Well it's been ages since I posted here, when I started I was quite a confused person, and reading posts really helped. After a while I felt like I had sorted myself out and drifted away, but as always happens life is getting away from me again, and so I find myself back where it all started.
What has happened since my last posts, well,
Came out to parents (it went *OK*)
Came out to Sister, it went better then I could have imagined
Became an Auntie
Transitioned at work before starting HRT, again it's gone really well, though the first day was very stressful
Fitted into a pair of UK size 10 jeans (not bad since in the begining I was a 22)
Started HRT
Been on hormones for about a month now and really pleased that my transition is moving forward and going really well. I've got some great friends who really accept me, but (isn't there always a but) I feel so alone and lonely. It doesn't matter how much time you can spend with friends, I always come home to an empty house and cook a meal for one.
I almost had a relationship start, they seemed OK with my trans status until the crunch came and it turned out they really couldn't deal with it. I don't completely blame them, I don't imagine they grew up dreaming of dating a woman with a past (and quite a recent past at that), but the rejection has thrown me back into feeling sad and a bit like a freak. I don't regret transitioning for a second, I wouldn't be here If I hadn't started doing this over a year ago now, but I don't wan't to be lonely for the rest of my life.
Sorry, just a little self pitying vent really, I just wanted to post to say thank you for all the help and support I got from this forum in the past
