TransLater

I think that the summary of their opinions right now is that my mom is unsure but open to it while my dad is pretty stubbornly against it.

My partner offered to do my makeup today. I was excited both because she’s been iffy on the whole transition thing and because she’s very good at doing her own makeup and I was excited to get some instruction.

I came out as trans to my partner a short while ago. She’s bisexual and I figured she would probably be uncomfortable at first and then come around to the idea once I’d ironed out some of the details of how I planned to transition and gave her some time to acclimatise.

How have you all coped with the early stages of medical and social transition? I'm in an in-between stage where I'm going to seriously start failing at boymode soon. I hate my old, gravelly, dysphoric voice and avoid it at all costs. I can't avoid certain undergarments at this point either, because a lack of support is a bit painful. I'm in the unfortunate position of not being able to even run errands because my ex-coworkers all go to the same local places and I'm not publicly out in my industry yet. The flip side is that if I went for femme-presenting, I'm quite visibly trans and it's entirely my face. There isn't much to do about that for some time yet.
