Gauging people
I used to be rubbish at deciding who I liked / didn't like, who I could trust and who would drop me in it in a heartbeat. I think I'm getting better.
In the last couple of years I've let friendship tail off with people who have turned out to be biggots, and gained some new friends who, it turned out last night, are fantastically supportive and open minded. Out of the blue I got a message "I've done a drawing for you" and got this picture, called 'rebirth'
Now, while struggling to get his head around my wanting to transition my bf had asked one of our mutual friends what his opinion was of people who transition; this mutual friend, having seen me in "guyliner and manscara" as he called it at the time, put 2 and 2 together and the cat is out of the bag amongst one large group of my friends (I had been holding it back until being close to getting hormones, but I'm glad this has happenned).
So, I had a chat with the guy who sent me the picture, one thing that lifted me up was "we're all so proud of you, some people already figured out you were girl I'm just glad you've caught up!" ... yes, I blubbed, and he is so getting a booty call in the near future, lol
Anywho, long story short, I've been overwhelmed by the positive feedback about being Trans, and I think I really am getting better at weighing people up :)
