Do it. Halloween is always a good pretext to come out gradually. And a chance to be yourself with least judgement.
Yesterday and today, I was dressed up and performing with a dancing group I work with, and in between dances, we all go pose and sit statue still as we are dressed as scarecrows, and scarecrows don't move usually. A lot of people there had little kids, and they'd tell their kids to "go sit/stand next to him," so they could take their kid's picture next to the scarecrow. Basically I got to see a whole bunch of cute kids and be addressed as male all day for the past two days!
I was able to use a gender neutral bathroom. Sort of. It was a family assistant bathroom, but it's better than nothing.
Well I was the hit of the Halloween party and people loved my costume. I'll post pictures... not sure if I'll post all of them.
aww, come on lets see all of them, :icon_wink seriously glad you had a great time, i stayed home and watched the Rocky Horror Picture show for the first time. pretty good i must say.
My parents don't know yet but I was wearing rather masculine clothes and my dad said something about me to my mum and he called me a he ) he didn't mean to but it still felt nice
i just found out that there is a Trans support group meeting in the city next week, there is one tonight but thats not going to work for me as i need to plan these things out as the city is 100km away, nothing closer. but im so stoked, this will be my first one.
NEWS ALERT! My mom is buying me a gc2b binder!!!! I could get it in as soon as 2 weeks! I am so incredibly excited you guys!
I went with my mom to church practice, got bored, and sat in one of the pews. I then saw a small slip of paper, and it was a "write down a request" thing. I wrote down, "From: a gay trans boy. To: Everyone. Request: Please, be nice to gays. Thank you! " then I put it in a book for someone to find. It's arguable that I did something stupid, but I'm not ashamed of it.
I'm passing 100% in public... Much to the chagrin and embarrassment of my dear old mother, unfortunately.
a couple of things the past couple of days. 1. went to the trans support group meeting, met some cool people, had a chuckle or 2 and i'll see some of them next week at the PFLAG meeting. it was a good night. 2. i came out to my new family doctor as both BI sexual and as Bi Gender. he was very supportive. some victories i thought id share.
My mom is trying to learn more about transgender people in an attempt to support me. She learned the term "cisgender" by herself and now uses it at appropriate times during conversation. It's a victory to me that I didn't have to explain it to her.
I've got my suit ready for homecoming on Friday! My hair is still pretty long, but my body looks much more straight and less curvy with the suit. And I learned how to tie a tie!
That's awesome. Unfortunately for me, I had to wear a dress and look all feminine. I wasn't out, though. But wait, your homecoming isn't until the the 13th? Dude, I had mine October 3rd!
A huge victory for me is my mom becoming my bestfriend throughout the process of me trying to find myself. She ordered a binder for me, she always wants to buy me the clothing I want, she lets me vent to her all the time, she apologizes every time she says the wrong pronoun and even made a nickname to call me whilst I'm questioning things, she pays for my therapy and does everything she can to make me happy. She told me "I don't care what you are, you're still mine, you came from me." I wish everybody could have a parent like her :icon_mrgr
