Hello Everyone!
I want to thank you for all of your support! I have updated my file to show who I really am. I appologize for not doing that in the first place, but I was afraid... So, you have 100% the real me from now on!!!
Today, I actually signed up for an LGBT group under my real name, close to home, but not home. I still think some in my community will not accept me in a new way. Unfortunately, I am in construction, a very mans environment where I have never really fit in. Although, I am a good poker played, not literally, but in business. So, they have had to put up with me.
Yesterday, after all of the celebrations about the supreme court ruling, I said so many positive things on FB thar I am sure some are wondering. i kind of did that on purpose! I also have been wearing more feminine clothes than ever before.
I am thinking about telling my daughter tomorrow. I am scared, but I know she will be ok with it. I feel like I have got to get over this hurdle so at least some understand what I am doing. What do you think?
I am not sure if I can ever fully come out at home, but I think I can everywhere else.
I again thank all of you and hope that you are not too upset that I used a different name.
Also, my real picture in one of my favorite countries, Italy, is sideways, and I cannot figure out how to turn it.
