Ladies, thank you all for the support. It’s funny, I was just having a similar conversation with my gender therapist, who I LOVE but am not allowed to take home and keep her. LOL
I’m on a one-way ride to being fully out, but it’s a process. It’s going faster than I originally had planned, large in part because of both my wife’s encouragement (ie when she said enough is enough, get dressed and we’re going dancing in West Hollywood) and my wife’s insistence that I get over any insecurities about my presentation on a day to day basis.
I’m at the point where new people I meet can know whatever they want to, because it’s easy and people are generally accepting I find. Where I struggle is with old friends and family who know me intimately enough to dig. I’ve had some bad experiences with my brother, who seems to find transphobic things to say more often than the average person. My mother as well... for now, my plan is to slowly share with “safe” friends, building confidence as I go.
And Cassandra, I DEFINITELY need some toe rings now that you’ve said that!
