My First Ever Pass!!!

Sep 01, 2004 21:53

-That I'm aware of anyway!

I'm really excited about this, a friend of mine didn't recognise me in the street as I was coming to meet them, and they thought I was just some random guy they didn't know!

I'm not out with many friends yet, and most of the ones who know still treat me as female and use my birth name which is painful as you can imagine and is getting more difficult as the days go by. But I am finding it very hard to change any of that, as I can't pass very well yet and haven't done anything about transitioning either. I want to wait as long as I can stand to, to make sure it's what I need to do and to give myself time to deal with the issue with my family. (Which is going to be very, very difficult!)

But I was so pleased when my friend told me that they'd said to the person with them that it couldn't be me coming towards them as it was a boy!

-Yes, I still have much to work on with my friends -
though if I had said to this person "But I am a boy" they would have probably said "Yes I know but you know what I mean" This friend does understand quite well, and they do make an effort, bless them!

So I'm very happy despite the fact that when they recognised me this friend came running up shouting my birth name for all to hear! At least they try!

Oh I have so much that needs working on with friends!

Family, for the most part, are even worse, excluding two members and one honorary member, they don't have a clue, and I'm dreading trying to let them know.

But never mind all that, this is meant to be a happy post, I am celebrating my official first known pass!

I'll shut up now, enough rambling from me!
