Coming out is a very personal and intimate process, but there are several ways in which to come out and “lessen” the impact in can have on you directly. I suggest writing a thorough coming out letter – it allows you to speak your mind without getting interrupted, and gives the reader an opportunity for information to sink in.
For what it’s worth, HERE is my “coming out” post.
I might have had a few drinks, but I can safely say that I am so fucking proud of my Son.
He’s currently explaining the “problems with my school’s discipline system” to my Wife. He’s making a strong case.
I can’t even.
This has been the best night; talking around a small backyard fire. Things might seem a little hectic, but it’s these moments that more than make up for it.
Please reblog if you are over 25 years old. I need to convince myself that I’m not just communicating with 13 year olds. Not that they aren’t nice mind you, but sometimes I feel like the only old person on tumblr.
I’m 33 even though I feel either 10 or 89 depending on. There is no in-between, I either feel like endless Froot Loops and cartoons, or like bran cereal and complaining about my arthritis.
And two years later, our position is exactly the same. I think between the two of us, I am the “cluckier” one – I dote on friend’s and family’s babies tremendously, and moosh over tiny shoes and outfits in stores. My Wife thinks this is absolutely adorable, but we still haven’t changed our minds.
The Wife and I have spoken recently about the large amount of questions/asks we get about “how” to find love.
It makes both of us really sad that a ton of trans people are under the impression they’ll have to settle for someone who loves them, or that they may never find that in the first place.
No, stop.
You will find someone who is right for you. It may seem stupid, but I honestly believe there is someone (perhaps even multiple people) out there for everyone. It might be more difficult in the beggining because as trans people, we don’t tend to allow ourselves enough room to love our physical apperance without a lot of work and dedication, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.
It’s also spurred conversation about how we might be able to take a non-identifying “family photo” of sorts. Perhaps of the back of us, perhaps in a location no where near where we reside. Perhaps it will never happen at all, but there’s been discussion around it.
