Almost entirely out!

[AmandaJ]

Tonight, I told a number of extended family members and friends. Quite a few of my friends and family already knew, but I felt like it was time. Today was significant for me as it marked 1 year since I decided to take control and start owning it. Support has been 100% positive so far and it keeps getting easier! I am still very worried about telling my dad and brother, but I knew it's something I need to do so they don't find out some other way.:D

I am very happy for you Amanda. That is exciting news!

[Beverley Sims]

Yes it would be great to be entirely out.
I wish you the best with it.

Good for you Amanda! It's time to live your life as you see fit and be the person you were meant to be!

[AmyGaleRT]

This is great, Amanda! With more of your family and friends in the know, you won't have to hide as much. I do hope it goes well for you!

Be cautious with important decisions around this time of the year. Maybe it's the Orange Halloween fog or something like that. I like to wait until after pumpkin days before doing impetuous stuff. In 1962, I found myself in the Army around this time of the year! That sure was a learning experience. On the day I got out of the service, I suddenly outranked a general! What a weird concept.

Hi Amanda, So far so good but this may be the toughest yet.

[Kate Simmons]

I'm okay with the ones of my family and friends that know but would hesitate to announce it on the 6 O'clock news with film at 11. :)

I don't think I am going to go entirety public. At least not in the form of a public announcement. Maybe I'll just have a few femme pics on FB and LGBT likes/interests. But most of the people I care to know about it now know.

That's great, Amanda. You've come a long way in a year!
