Reply To: Deciding whether to transition without being passable

[Hillary Samantha Jones]

Also, something I’ve noticed after coming out: people will always respond so much netter when you’re owning and projecting your true honest self. I got along as male, but in the 2 months since I’ve been out I’ve had more real connections with people than in the 39 years leading up to coming out. If you’re comfortable with who you are it puts people at ease and lets them know you’re not afraid to be vulnerable on some level. It’s amazing. Never would I have ever guessed that just being honest with myself would change everything about how I interact with the world…for the better.
