The Good Thoughts and Prayers Needed Thread 2

Re: The Good Thoughts and Prayers Needed Thread 2

This has been a long time coming, and instead of giving a long, flowery post, I'll just cut to the heart of it.

I am coming out to you as bisexual and transgender male-to-female, taking the name Amber Marie. On March 13, I saw the endocrinologist, and I was put on estrogen and testosterone blockers. Many changes are coming, including mood swings.

There are places I will post pictures, including Facebook and Instagram (bobambermarie), and will be writing extensively about it on my blog (link in signature).

I want you to know I have a wonderful support system, including a trans support group here in Holland, as well as PFLAG and Out On The Lakeshore, an LGBT support center.

Of course I've received vitriol. My aunt flat out disowned me, I've been told I can "control my tendencies and that no one is really LGBT," etc. But these people are few and far between.

As for this board, I will change my username. I'm leaning toward MissThundercat, as that's a name I've received from endurance races.

Thank you for understanding.

You have my family's support and best wishes, and full welcome and embrace of your identity. I admire your bravery and strength. Ignore the haters -- they are suffocating under the ash heap of their own bigotry.

Wish for nothing but happiness and strength for you. For the rest of us I wish for a world where someday we can embrace each other for all and everything each of us are.

Amber -- best wishes for a smooth transition. Please know that tcbg and I think of you often and both admire your courage as you embark on this adventure. Please let either of us know if there is anything we can do to support you.
 
Re: The Good Thoughts and Prayers Needed Thread 2

I can't really add more than what has already been said. Know that you have a second family here at USCHO. I admire your strength and respect you for knowing who you are. It's more than many people can say.
