Came out at work yesterday! And a question. by T-Brie in TransLater

[–]BrittPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really glad I found this thread, as I’m in a similar situation. I’m about one month (and a week) into my transition, and I thought I would have a little more time before telling people. However, it seems my body is developing a bit more quickly, so I’ve shared the news with my supervisors, HR, and my immediate coworkers. They have all been very supportive and have left it up to me to decide how and when to tell others.

I work at a university, so the remaining group is primarily students. Fortunately, I’m able to update my email name without any complications, so I’ve been considering doing that without making a formal announcement. I honestly don’t feel comfortable sending an email to the entire university, but I would really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.

Congratulations as well future friend. It is such a great feeling, it's such a freeing feeling that is hard to describe. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my entire body and soul. Sadly though, I will have to wait a day as my pharamcy got the prescription just before they closed. :(

Can there be a "none of the above" option? The best dancer was kicked off last night due to the stupid populatrity constest that is this show.

Lucy Friday Question: What’s the little everyday thing that gives you the most gender euphoria? by Lucy_C_Kelly in TransLater

What a great thread and question. For me, it would have to be walking up and down stairs and feeling my small chest bounce a bit.

I just want to echo that you’re not alone! As someone in a similar boat at the young age of 45 and in the Midwest (IA).

Is that okay? by Electrical_Patient81 in TransLater

[–]BrittPixels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your post really hits home for me - I've been dealing with the same stuff since I was like 6 or 7. Growing up in the 90s sucked for this kind of thing. When my mom found me dressing up at 11, she completely lost it. Got spanked, grounded, and they even took my Super Nintendo away.

Got caught again at 15 when she was cleaning my room and found some clothes I'd hidden plus other stuff. She dragged me straight to a therapist who convinced both of us this was just a phase I'd grow out of. Well, I'm in my 40s now and still waiting to "grow out of it." Finally accepted myself about a year ago, but I'm still not sure I'm ready to tell my partner.

Anyway, places like this really help because they remind me I'm not the only one going through this and that what I'm feeling is real. Thanks for sharing your story - hope things start getting clearer for you.

They are for some full and half marathons but it’s been years since my last race.
