A re-introduction

Hey all-

It's been a very long time since I've last posted here (like since 2016), and there are some major updates in life.

1. My brother did end up coming out, and is most definitely gay. He's somewhere in California now, and absolutely loving life out there.
2. My family is on the more accepting side of the LGB community, still has work to go with the T+ community.
3. My family has stopped going to fundamental baptist churches, which is a HUGE positive. They currently go to an accepting Methodist church, and I attend there when I'm home.
4. Turning 30 does not make one gay-dead, regardless of what people tell you.

Onto some new things:

1. I (not so) recently realized that I am trans. It's a whole new world in this regard.
2. I came out as trans in 2017, then went back in the closet until October 2022 due to societal issues. I only came out when I realized that depression wasn't worth me not living my true self.
3. I started HRT (MTF/Nonbinary) at the beginning of December. Yay me!
4. Y'all are still awesome.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

 

I should add that I'm Sam, they/them or he/him. I'm very much so out to everyone as gay, but not so much as trans.

I love baseball, specifically the Baltimore Orioles and Colorado Rockies. I also like lacrosse, and sports in general. ESPN/FS1 are my favorite channels. College football is a very fun adventure when watching with me.

 

Thanks! and yep. He called me some years back one day and was like "There's something I need to tell you" and I was like "you're gay" and the rest was history... He quickly after moved to the bay area, and I moved back to the DC area.

the T part is logistically the hardest one to come out about, at least to the parents and my grandmother. Literally everyone else knows as of this weekend.

Thanks for the kind words
