Coming out for me was quite the adventure. I'm a trans woman and I knew that from childhood. It was just this innate feeling that how I was treated and expected to behave was the opposite of who I was. I didn't have the words for it back then and events that took place kept me in the closet for 30 years. I came out to my then fiance and soon to be wife. I told her I was trans and didn't lie exactly what that meant for me. She said that was okay with her and we got married. When I wanted to come out to others and transition though, well that's when she decided to come out as a biblical literalist. She knew I detested religion and considered it the greatest threat to humanity. She lied for 8 years and thought getting married would fix me. I loved her and tried to turn it around but she had both feet firmly placed in her beliefs. Our marriage ended in 2020 and after all that was said and done, I came out to everyone! Started transitioning in 2021 and I have lived openly, freely, honestly, and without a single damn regret since then. I'm a chef so work is very easy. In kitchens you can either hold your station down during a rush or you can't. Only thing that matters to cooks and I love it!
Thank you, it's all okay now! I'm happier, she's happier and life is so good! It's weird sometimes to think of those 30 years, like I don't even know who she married. The person I was is basically a stranger to me and I now have the memories of some random dude in my head.
