I am seriously considering cosmetic surgery, after a period of becoming a gym rat. A few nice touches to accentuate what I have.
I am out to one sister and 2 friends at this point, but it is still important to me to be comfortable as my guy self.
Does anyone else feel that way, and where does that land me on the spectrum. Just trying to find my compass.
TIA,
Stephanie
The response has been 100% acceptance thus far, with some discomfort, but I have never dressed and just hung out with them.
Cheers
Sounds to me like you are genderfluid, able to move along the spectrum freely. I don't think you have to come out as male or female, but it might be good to be honest with people and tell them that you are both or can be either depending on how you feel in a moment.
Thanks Xelyn
HI Stephanie,
I can relate to the importance of remaining "comfortable as my guy self". I am out to my older brother (I have three more younger plus a sister, Mom and Dad are passed) and a small handful of friends. Although for myself I have a slightly different perspective, it's not so much important to me that I can still operate as a male as it is that I just am not ready for the world to know about Tami and THAT'S OKAY. That rascal fear. Someday soon, my compass is pointing due Tami! 🙂
Love to you
Tami
