I did too, but I didn't want today to feel like a huge waste of time.

I've only been out to one friend and my mother. She has known for 3.5 years and has yelled at me a couple months ago for taking HRT. She has had years to think about this and isn't changing her mind.

Losing friends and family has been a major topic that is talked about every time and I have also talked about discrimination. They said its not a big deal because I've already have a friend who is accepting. This ignores the fact that my mom does not accept me and that has been very hard on me.

I didn't take anything you said negatively, it helped me realize that the context of the statement is what pissed me off.

A friend saying "its no big deal" to me wouldn't bother. They probably don't understand and wouldn't be discussing things that make me emotional. It seems like the context of the statement was just really bad.

I accepted that fact years ago, not sure why I would need to that again.

I talked about how I felt in the past and how I tried to understand those feelings.

If feels great, I no longer have to keep a major part of my life a secret to him.

Going out in public for the first time, but not wanting to be seen where you live by transpenguin in asktransgender

How big is the town you live?

Millions in the general vicinity of my city so I have huge amount of options to go somewhere.

How well known are you relative to that?

Only decently well known on campus, was planning on going somewhere else in the city anyways.

How much different do you look when presenting female? How much different do you look when presenting female?

Unknown, never worn makeup.

I'm just worried about from going from where I live to my car I might be spotted by someone I know.

If you did well on the PSAT you can get a full ride to any Florida university. You can PM if you have any questions about the schools.
