New T-Girl in Transition

[Dani]

John,

I will admit that on here I come off as though I am on cloud 9 but I am realistic. Change doesn't happen over night and not everyone is going to accept who I AM. I do understand that the world especially for TS's is a cold and callous place but I am excited that for once in my 20 years of living I am happy with who I am...I look into a mirror and smile instead of critique! I thank you for the reality check on here and not to sound rude but I do understand what I am in for and how difficult it is...

I came out to one of my best friends tonight and she is the first person to know but I knew her reaction would be the way it was that is why I chose to confide in her...(she would stop talking about shopping for me) and I had my first nerve wracking/shaking hand time in a store buying women's clothing...

All in all I want you to know that I understand the road is tough but it just makes me feel good to know there is other trans support out there (from straight men too!) because someday I WILL have to tell my parents and I am so unsure if their reactions that it frightens me to death...
