      Aww, that’s great <3 I’m so glad it went well.

      Edit: actually now that I come to think of it, the timing is probably not a coincidence – it’s the Streisand effect. All the transphobic noise at the moment has pushed transgender people into the public consciousness, and that has probably helped a lot of people figure themselves out. At least, I think it had a big part in cracking my egg. So thanks, crazy people!

          Exactly the same here. Screwing myself up preparing to potentially destroy my family, and the response was “well, yeah, you’ve always had that kind of air about you”
