transMy second post here! Huzzah!
If y'all recall my last post, I was looking for a binder. I grabbed a T-Kingdom zip-up. I love it, but thanks to a persistent cough I still can't wear a binder for more than two hours and some change. I've bumped down to an off-brand sort of frog bra which is comfy and supportive if not exactly good with compression. I'll take comfort over a flat chest any day though.
The issue at hand today is a small coming out. I've decided to do it in stages. A grandma is visiting from far north and I intend to tell her in October. I'm not worried about that. Before then or about then or a little after, I don't know yet, I intend to come out to my religious group.
I'm pagan and part of a Wiccan circle. My girlfriend and I are Maidens, a position I'm going to have to leave when I come out. My girl's grandmother is the High Priestess. I don't expect any kind of drama from her, because she loves me and I'm family.
Our High Priest is a weird duck, I expect any opposition to come via him. He's so strongly fixated on me being a lesbian, almost to a creepy point. He's not particularly closed-minded but he's grossly insensitive at times.
I know this is a strangely specific sort of request but has anyone here been in a similar position? Pagan and trans? I don't really even know what kind of advice I'm seeking. I think I'd just like some encouragement. Thanks for reading y'all.
