Coming Out

I hate the term "Coming Out" but in many cases it was very true for me, for just over 20 years I had hidden aspects of my life from people even those closest to me.
When I began my "New Life" I decided I would "come out" but it would be much harder as I no longer lived near anyone and had to rely on social media something of which I am actually not much of a fan of in the first place.
I decided to let it out in steps and see how people would take things.
My first step was to announce to people I was infact Bi, I had made key to announce as Bi-Curious and then after another few months and some shall we say experimenting I announced I was Bi-Sexual, during this time I had also gathered a few friends in my new life and decided to try telling them first, they said if I was going to tell them about being bi they knew and were accepting of this a similar reaction to what most other people had said but I took my time and finally announced to them that I "may be" transgender, even though I truly knew I was and had for some many years, Gender Dysphoria had not yet been diagnosed.
Finally I decided to go "global" and post onto Facebook and Twitter.
A few people seemed to disappear from them, whilst I also saw some random new people send requests, some other people had not spoke to me at all and in fact still to this day have not, whilst a few sent me private messages saying they were accepting of how I am, some said they had kind of known or had feelings I was. I guess you could say that was when I really found out who my true friends were and how much my family supported me.
Very little I must say and to both.

Living on Benefits in 2017

Living on Benefits in 2017 A lot of people seem to think that other people being on benefits is all out of pure laziness in not wanting to find a job and such, well let me say just a few things right there. first up yes some people on JSA are probably just lazing about not really trying to seek a job, others meanwhile may be on befits for reasons such as disability, severe mental health etc. i for example am on Employment Support Allowance for a fair few years now, ok so yeah the name makes it sound like it is for those working and maybe on low wages or something and while i believe some can get it for that reason but will be low rate, the major reason is the inability to work, before being on it i did work, I did not have the best of grades thanks to being kicked out from moms twice and moving schools several times during GCSEs which caused serious drops in grades as some courses were not available at one school that were at the other school, and then there was being in hospi

Pre-Transition

From the moment I "began my new life" I knew I would use it as a chance to start my "transition" i had done some research over many years finding out how to go about things. So upon moving to a new area I decided I would slowly start to augment the "living in role" aspect into my life and not so slowly began collecting bits of clothing, within a few months of moving into a shared property I had already developed a fair amount of ladies clothing, accessories and items, but knowing I was exactly the most feminine looking I began slowly adapting. I started by just wearing underwear (bra knickers/thong and girls socks) slowly I began to get confident enough like this that I started wearing other parts of clothing such as trousers, tops and jumpers that were a little less obvious, but implementing a slightly more feminine look every time I felt comfortable enough with where I had got to. (Publicly) During this time I was also trying to convince my doctor to ref
