It was pointed out to me, and rightfully so, that my previous blog post was both a while ago and a bit worrying. I was hesitant to write because compared to others my life is going great.

I have actually transitioned and am perfectly happy being myself. The children (14 & 17] accept me and love me. I have divorced, which in this case is a good thing as the negative influence of my ex partner is mostly gone and more easily mitigated.

I have transitioned in place at work and there everybody is accepting. I am still singing in several choirs, only I have move to the sopranos now, I was a low bass and first tried alto, but vocal wise soprano is better.
I have entered my local church which is a small parish where everyone accepts me as a person. I have been blessed with my new name for the full congregation during the Easter wake mass.

I am legally female since December 2017 and on hormones since May 2018. I have the “luxury problem” of having to pick a hospital to go to for SRS.

I still do have some issues, but those are problems that also hid behind the wall I erected around myself to hide who I was and issues for being and issues with keeping a household running as a single, working mommy.

Thank you, Love Anne.
