    On New years eve, I decided to come out to my readers. I've been so worried about it since a lot of my friends who follow my writing and me don't know I identify as a fluid Trans* woman. Well, because it was the start of a new year, I figured it was the best time to do it.

    The readers who watch me, thankfully, aren't of my family. They're part of my family, since I have friends following, but they're not related to me outside of friends and fans. It was to be a shock, I'm sure, so I kept the post out of the eyes of my true family. Thankfully, everyone I've talked to has been very supportive.

    Friends and fans identify me as Ma'am, miss, sug', and other names. At the party I went to, everyone called me princess, and it just felt so amazing. There was one person who missed the identity talk, but it was expected. I was just glad that everyone was so awesome about it.

    Below, I've included the post that I released to my readers. This is a new step for me, and I'm still nervous. The therapist I work with has told me to enjoy just being ME, and by coming out as fluid, leaning female, I feel this is something that was necessary. Thank you so much to all of you who have helped me in my small posts. I couldn't do this small step without you!

    Congrats! It's awesome that they have all been so accepting!

    It's funny, because I'm opposite of you. I lean male most of the time, but I do have my times where I am more fluid. It's good to know I'm not the only one out there like this :slight_smile:

    Hey, that's awesome! I thought I'd be the only one who felt this way. I'm so glad I'm not :grin:
