It's natural to be nervous. OMG. I'dve never made it through that first day if I didn't have my coworker there all the time with me as support....
My manager asked me if I wanted a message, or a meeting, and I said no. Seems to me, if you didn't want a mass e-mail, just telling HR not to do...
I agree, almost completely. Before I even spoke a word to anyone, I had to accept the concept that I might lose everyone, that I might have to...
Thank you. I've been trying that. It's been over a year now, but my mother is still hung up on how "it affects her". Sometimes things seem...
so here I am doing this. I came out fully and socially transitioned a year and a week ago. I started HRT a little over 8 months ago. I've legally...
very good points. I came out fully a year ago, and socially transitioned. I can still remember the feeling as I was able to be myself all day...
As someone who is probably a bit older than most here, I knew when I was young, my teenage years were difficult. I lived in a rural area and...
the first few times I went with friends, large outings where they were able to support me (and help me pick stuff out) I got so into it and...

Thanks! :icon_bigg
So I joined EC about 3 years ago. unsure of who I was. I thought I'd figured it out and wandered away, occasionally coming back and lurking a...
I'd be up front, just so that it doesn't come up in an uncomfortable way..but it's also being honest at the start with someone you'll be sharing...
this sounds a lot like me. While I never went as far as marriage, lousy relationships, depression etc. Glad I'm finding my way out :) Glad we...
So I came out to my Father at the end of November (as detailed in this thread) In coming out to him I asked him to keep my confidence, that not...
coming out has gone pretty well so far...all of my friends have been really cool, supportive...occasionally surprised, occasionally not so much......
I've avoided facebook for a long time but a month or so ago my niece who'd just turned 13 and was super excited that she could now have a FB...
telling her first before she finds out is going to be the honorable thing to do. It will also, in the long run be something she can focus on when...
