Subject: RE: National Coming-Out DayKudos. Pretty ballsy to make an announcement to so many people, especially fairly early on in the process. I have a friend who is MtF TG, and I've seen/heard just a bit of the struggle and I know it isn't easy. Hell, I'm a friend and I can't even use a consistent pronoun....use "he" and "she" in the same sentence. Most know 'him', but some of us know about her. Doesn't plan to present full time as female until she relocates somewhere. Too many people know 'him' around here yada yada.... Then there's 2 names to keep track of for awhile. Those of us that are friends know the real identity, but we have to keep track of the old one too. I wonder if training would slow things down for you, like complicating hormone therapy. Guess I have yet another topic to google when I get bored later... You made an announcement in a pretty accepting place here. Be careful though, still a lot of hate out there in the world. -eric |
