(This is part 4 of my observance of Transgender Awareness Month, my answers to the 30 Day Trans-Challenge.)
4) How did your family take it when you came out/ if you are not out why aren't you?
Well, like I said in the last post, I'm not out to anyone but my Sweetheart, and that was kind of a rough thing. She felt lied to, betrayed, and afraid for our future together — a fear that I shared. Part of our mutual understanding in the fallout from that initial coming out was I can push my presentation as "metrosexual" (i.e. androgynous) as I want, provided I stay on the "male" side of the line. So far so good, since I've since come to identify more as genderqueer anyway. But she also really, really doesn't want me sharing my gender issues with anyone else, so out of respect for her feelings, that's where things remain.
