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
