That is, wife (43) and daughter (12). Told them I was re-evaluating myself and who I wanted to be, and that I wanted to try being “cuter” (didn’t quite have the courage to go further), and that perhaps men’s clothing didn’t suit me.
The wife was mostly “yeah, right” – seemed happy that I was trying to improve myself but seems to think it’s just a phase (maybe it is? idk).
But my daughter was right on board! Came up with a load of outfit and makeup suggestions, and proposed going to an anime convention together, dressed up. I asked her if she’d think it was weird for me to go about dressed as a gothic lolita, and the response was “no, I think it’d be cute.”
So next step is maybe cute anime girl cosplay at home, with an ally!
I’m literally shaking with … excitement? fear? relief? I have no idea. Ohgodohgodohgod what am I doing…
We all take a different path. We all decide how far down the path we will walk. All journeys start with a courageous first step. I’m so happy for you☺️. It took me over a decade to get to where I am. Today is the day I get to petition the court to change my name. I never thought I’d ever find myself here. I’ve never felt more comfortable in my own skin. I can only hope you find that same comfort. No matter how long or short your journey. 🏳️⚧️
Congratulations :)
Sempai, that’s awesome!
I was in and out in like ten minutes and I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry I’m so overwhelmed with emotion. I just have to wait for a letter in the mail that shouldn’t take more than a week or two then I can get my documents changed starting with ss card and drivers license. 😆
