I've been presenting myself as Violette for bit over a year now. All people here
|
|
know me only with only this name. It is kinda hard to believe it has not always
|
|
been this way. Here is a little list of things that I have learned during this time.

To add more context, im a french transfem living in Montreal. I worked in IT
|
|
openly as a transfem for about a year.

## Cis people either do not give a shit or care way too much
|
|
In my experience, people do not really care about how you present yourself.
|
|
At most, you get a few looks, but most people will not confront you about it.

## finding a new family
|
|
I have been somewhat ostracized from my family. Both my brothers now either
|
|
dodge all interactions i could have had with them, and my parents really
|
|
hate all trans-related subject. I have become the person they try to avoid.
|
|
So I had to build a new family of my own. I found new people that i felt
|
|
comfy around, new friends, and a partner.
|
|
It felt very weird to just be around people that would not constantly
|
|
judge you for your (questionable) fashion choices, or whatever
