    I came out to the one person that matters most, and everything was OK. Like better than OK. What was the point of all that internal torture I put myself through? Finally feel like I can breathe again.

    Still think the gods are having a huge laugh at my expense over the timing though.

      Aww, that’s great <3 I’m so glad it went well.

      Edit: actually now that I come to think of it, the timing is probably not a coincidence – it’s the Streisand effect. All the transphobic noise at the moment has pushed transgender people into the zeitgeist, and that has probably helped a lot of people figure themselves out. So thanks, crazy people!
