Just to respond to this thread, as well as your other one, I have a friend who was outing me to people, and some of these people I never met!!!! His attitude at first was "I thought you were proud of who you are."
I am proud, but I think the issue of being outed is up to me. Once I am full time it really won't matter, but, for now, as long as I am still in the beginning stages of transitioning, I need to be careful. Lord knows who is out there who knows about me and could say something to my kid, who does not know yet. That is my decision to make.
Anyhow, welcome. Make sure to stop by the chatroom.

Hi Wynnona Rose-
Hey girl, please accept my apology for the belated response. Welcome to TW, I'm sure you will find help and resources here as well as support and friendship. There are probably many therapists and MD's on the East Coast near where you live who will be willing to treat you and help you on your journey, it may take time, but I'm sure you will find someone.
Now I have a tough question for you. In regard to the g-girl you live with, why are you with her? She doesn't seem to support you or understand you, and disregards your needs and feelings. She is worried about some hypothetical retaliation from bigots but casually outs you to others. How does that make sense? I'm not prying into your relationship, hon, lord knows I have had my share of dysfunctional ones in the past myself, but how can this be healthy or helpful for you?
All I really want you to know is that you're among friends here. We all know, to one degree or another, what you're going through. Hopefully there are some girls from your area who will be kind enough to offer you some information on resources in your area. Please stick around and stay in touch, okay? May the Goddess smile on you and keep you safe.
Hugs...Joni Marie

Wynonna Rose,
I am seldom, you will discover, a person of few words (stop snickering, girls) but........
Find a new girlfriend.....emphasis on "friend".
Here are a list of the support groups and resources for CT. There may be more but these places are likely to know. If you can use the car en homme, nothing in CT is that far away.
