I was ( and still am) nervous about being out and trans right now, but I decided I’m not letting any right wing asshole put me back in the closet. So I’ve been out and loud since the election.
And my doctor signed off on estrogen treatment so that’s underway.
But the most amazing was reconnecting with my ex-wife. We haven’t spoken in 25 years, but I felt I had to tell her I was trans. And it was like the floodgates opened. We chatted all weekend and were able to support each other in dealing with our post election fears. She said it was like healing an old wound and making a new friend with one conversation.
