I just wanted to say a few words about what has happened to me over the last six months. The reason is: it's all good news! Somehow, before I started, I only saw the bad stuff. The you'll be fired from all jobs, your family will disown you, you will be locked out of your house with a restraining order. Well, I was ready for all that. I had finally gotten to the point where I was ready for anything because something had to change if I wanted to stay alive. I was scared to death, didn't know what to do, abosolutely terrified of being seen out dressed as a woman. Terrified of telling ANYONE. But something had to give.
So I started hormones. Two weeks, nothing. Six weeks, nothing.
Then one morning I woke up. And he was finally gone. And I was smiling. It wasn't long before I went to a doctors appointment, properly dressed, and I haven't put on boy clothes again. Couldn't have stopped myself. I don't know why, but it sure feels good. I no longer worry about anything.
Since that morning nearly everything that has happened has made me happy. It's not all perfect, but it is certainly much better than I ever thought possible. My days seem to filled with apparently uncaused JOY! Really. Life is that good. Now. It sure wasn't.
I still have a job, I still have most of my family, with hope that the others will come back soon. I feel so much better it's just indescribable.
So, there is some good news for you. I don't know what it will be like for you. But I want you to know there is hope.

Hi Kim, and thanks for telling us your great news!
Sadly, I think, as a community, we over emphasize our fears. Yes, they do exist, but as time goes by, and as more of us come out of the woodwork, we gain a better understanding and command more respect from society in general. Thank you and well done.
We are here to stay!
