This year has been one disaster to another. Tho I have made some progress amidst the chaos; I have come out and made the decision to go full-time. Really the longer I put it off the worse off I will be. Really now is the time to start planning the transition road-map--which involves a lot of research and discovery, my psyc is less knowledgeale on transition than I am so the onus is on me to seek out the relevant information myself.
One of the avenues I am going to explore is the local Perth Trans* society--The Chameleon Society. Networking will mean I don't have to do this journey on my own, and having a network that has gone thru what I'm about to will really help in sourcing the relevant info. The next meeting is tomorrow, ut I'm not sure I can make that one.
Tho, coming out has been strange. Many of the friends I have come out to have basically said 'yeah, I already kinda knew'. I think that is important to note for any closeted girls that may be reading: Your friends know you, they know who you are and they wouldn't be your friends if they didnt accept you for who you are. I emphasize this, a male friend found out--not by me telling him, but thru the grapevine, and he was actually angry that I did not confide this information to him; Had absolutely no problem with the trans* thing, he just thought it showed a lack of trust. I did not expect that.
Lessons learned are to have more faith in those around you.
