It's over. Done. Finito.

I'm completely out to my family and it just feels so surreal.
They're starting to use my new name and everything, it's finally all coming together :D

All I'm waiting on is to get my name/sex designation forms guarantor'd and I'll be fully legal as well.
That's actually one of the more important ones, having a name that mismatches your appearance is at the very least awkward as hell :P

I minus off some points for it taking me 2 bloody years to get here, but to be fair I did pretty much every step of transition ass backwards compared to the norm.
But it's done. It's all done and I couldn't be happier :)

CONGRATULATIONS !!!!! :) That must be such a relief for you and you must be so happy.

I had 8 hours of electrolysis today - OUCH- and tonight I am considering coming out much earlier than I had planned.

But tonight is about you. What a great step forward. I hope it brings you much happiness living as your true self.

Congratulations

Well-done.......finally lol.
So in the end all that worrying about your Dad wasn't necessary?

My Dad has some pretty bigoted views and although I wouldn't say it was easy for him he has been great.

Love wins out.

Good for you.

I am happy for you Tara! You had a lot of worry behind this, so I am glad you have this behind you. Keep moving forward. Being real isn't easy but it is rewarding!

I cringe thinking about the months I spent agonizing over it, but to be fair he is sexist to the degree of parody.
Finally everyone knows though and the only things I have to agonize over are the dumb day to day things :D

Glad you are finally through all that! :)

[Jennifer-GWN]

There you go.... And a welcomed FINALLY with a big smile. Congrats Tara... Feels good right!

[flatlander_48]

I did pretty much every step of transition ass backwards compared to the norm.

Yes, I can see how starting with your toes and working your way upwards would be suboptimal...

So, best of luck going forward!!

Good for you Tara.....we always fear the worst and it can be crippling.....glad you finally worked your way through it.

[whowhatwhen]

It's kinda sad how long I let that fear take hold of me when there's perfectly new set of fears I have yet to give attention to :P
Like navigating the complicated world of the name change stuff and the dozens of documents upon documents upon documents.
