Day 3 visiting my mom. So far my plan of going femme for two weeks is going great! 👍 By which I mean I have completely failed at it. I tried wearing makeup twice, both attempts lasting 30 seconds before I wiped it off. Yesterday I needed to clean my grandparents' house and since I didn't have any other cleaning-friendly clothes I wore the only fitting dress I could find in my old room. Welp, even my mom who always hypes up every tiny bit of gender-conformity in me couldn't say anything more than a tentative, "Uh, nice...uh... dress?" And no wonder. I'm 80 kilos of back muscle and glutes and rapidly approaching the shape of a door frame. I cannot pull it off. I'm sure athletic women can; my sister definitely can, but I'm just not convincing anyone.
Tonight I'm meeting one of my oldest friends and it will be coming out time. I hope it goes well, but the chance is probably 50/50.
I will think of you today. Wish you all the best that your friend can accept you for you -as you are and as you want to be.
Thank you, I really appreciate your kindness. ♥️
Crossing fingers for you! I hope they will act like real friend should.
Thank you. I hope she takes it well. I'm learning that people have all sorts of complex feelings to my transition and I am also learning how to navigate them.
Update: we had a good long talk about it. I was scared, because she's a huge Jordan Peterson fan and he can be fairly transphobic. But we talked it out and we're good :) As it happens to me often, I am the first trans person in her life, so questions are happening :)
Okays, to it wasn't easy, but at the end it was fine. I am so happy to read that!
Thank you so much for the encouragement! Few more friends to go, and then my sister...
I was thinking of ou all morning when I got up and I am glad to read it went as well as can be expected. I guess I would ask away everything if a friend came out to me as trans to. But the important part is that she's still there for you ♥️
