    I’ve (MtF) been doing pretty good lately. I recently came out to work and I’m about to get a new badge soon. I’m basically full time fem now.

    The only ones I haven’t come out to yet are like outside family members such as my aunts and grandma and cousins. I currently have a supportive cousin but we barely talk due to life and stuff. And I’m pretty sure my aunts are gonna flip out so that’ll be bad. Grandma might be supportive. And I have at least one other cousin in the LGBTQ community. My parents are not supportive but my Dad still at least wants to talk to me and stuff so that’s nice I guess. So I guess its a bit of a mix in that regard…

    In addition, HRT is doing its thing and I like the progress I’ve been making. Although atm, idk if its the progesterone… but at night i get really dizzy and tired sometimes… Thankfully I’m usually at home by the time I take my meds so, I just lay down and fall asleep. And I’m usually better in the morning.

    This Wednesday I’ll be going to a hair salon to get my hair trimmed a bit, but not too much. I’m trying to grow it out. And then later I plan on making another appointment to get my hair dyed. Probably gonna do red highlights of some kind (I currently have Brown hair).

    And then I’m also going to Otakon on Aug 2nd so that’ll be fun!

    So yee! Overall pretty good ;-) <3

      Congrats on coming out at work! I’m a little ashamed to admit my work is the one place I’ve been too afraid to come out (I work with clients and you never know how much of a shitbag they can be).
