Well, that went about as well as I could have expected. I came out to everyone via Facebook, and they were all supportive. Here is what I wrote:
While I don't think that something as petty as Facebook should necessarily be the place where all major news of a person's life comes to light, but just this once I really feel like I need to make something known. Even some of those closest to me will be hearing me say this plainly for the first time. So.. here we go.
I've been getting asked more and more about how far I plan to take well.. "all this." If I planned on going full-time or not. Am I getting operations? Legal name change? Let me begin by saying this plainly:
I am a trans....former.
My entire life I always felt like I needed to change. By change I mean change into a jet and then back as missions demand. Once my mother caught me wearing a pair of fake wings and flipped out. She dragged me to a psychiatrist, and while we were in the car she flat out told me, "We are going to nip this in the bud. I didn't raise my child to be no robot-vehicle hybrid."
I told them what they wanted to hear, and went back into the hangar for many years. Well now it's 2015 and no one's going to stop me from being who I am anymore. I've been talking to management at work and I've gotten the go-ahead to start living as a Decepticon full-time and come next month, I start energon injections. I'm also legally changing my name to Destructor Maledictus Gray. I hope I can depend on you guys having my back, at least until I become undisputed master of humans and you have no choice.
Now at this point you're probably thinking to yourself, "What about all the makeup and dresses and the inexplicable cleavage?" Nevermind that, that's just an essential element of my gender expression that has always been, and makes me feel grateful every day that I have people in my life who except me for who I am, and for the support they have given me.
But forget about all that, I'm a freaking DECEPTICON, people!
Sincerely,
Destructor Maledictus Gray
If i can do it, you can do it too!
