I'm still not fully out to everyone -- I'm taking it very steadily, and coming out in stages. My co-workers are all absolutely sound about it, and most of the friends who know so far have been supportive. The family are going to be the hardest.
I have a lot of respect for you Jules, especially with the family thing. It's not exactly a choice thing is it.

Have a few friends who're in a similar place - it pains me to see how much pain they endure, never mind what society thinks at them being themselves. My happiest friend does drag for a living and has a personality like Saturn:D Doesn't give a fuck. She's big in the Glasgay scene. You just have to watch her pinching your scarves

Hopefully I've not spoken out of turn there. If I have, my sincere apologies.
