Thanks for the reddit posts. There is some very good reads out there.

I guess, it's just one of those things where I wish it was just "accepted" to be who you want to be.

I know people are usually scared of the unknown, and often history shows that rather than accepting, it seems to be the norm that if we can't eat it, or f-it, we kill it. Rudimentary yes, but in many aspects true to this day.

For example - at work everyone knows me as a fun lovable, married guy.. showed up one day wearing a kilt and everyone backed up quite a bit. Asking me if it was some kinda "Scottish day" or something. Why the reaction? Because it wasn't normal for a guy to do this. They became inquisitive and even shy. Why can't society as a whole just learn to "accept" there may be things different. - We may even have a lot less stress in general.

Again - just rants and thoughts.

Hi Darla,


I guess the same goes for most of us on here whether transitioning or staying male. You have to do what is right for you, no one else is you and although there are similarities between all our fears and insecurities we all deal with them differently. 

Whilst it possibly is easier being or identifying as completely transgender just in terms of how others process things for some there is definitely an inbetween point where they are happiest. I guess fear of what other people think is the biggest thing to overcome, but have found people I am out to are whilst in shock so far being sympathetic and supportive.

Its good when you finally figure things out whatever that is you wish to do or become, fear shouldn't hold us back from choosing what makes us happy and complete.
