Found your site through Microspotting, and want to write and say THANK YOU! It is so uplifting to read about someone who is out at work and working it out! I’m a young-ish FTM and am stealth at work for a lot of reasons, its hard to see being out as a possiblity very often anymore. Your willingness to be open about yourself is great! I’m sorry if this message is a little weird I just felt like I should say something. You don’t need an executive assistant do you?

Thanks again!

Can I mention your story to my students in the Cross-Cultural Psych class?

Megan>> Thanks Frances! I admire your ability to read verbose, sometimes blabbery stuff!

I’m glad you found it useful…. that makes it all worth it, really….

I tried to email you 2X. Once i lost it while submitting. I rewrote another positive, encouraging, and heartfelt note and sent that and I HAVE NO IDEA IF YOU GOT THAT ONE.

Do you acknowledge that you receive the email? Even if an auto response would be helpful just to let me know that the email was received.

Our family wishes the best for your family. Best wishes always, Bob and family

Megan>> Hi Bob! Something got weird w/the wordpress comment notifier, and I just saw this one, but didn’t see the last comment that you posted until now…. As for replying, since the comments are moderated, if you see the comment posted, I saw it. I probably comment on about half of the comments inline… I do reply at times, and especially if there is a question! I appreciate the kind thoughts!

I needed a boost to start my own transitionning blog. You just gave it to me. I already came out on my professional blog and spoke now and then about some issues but I guess, there is a need to develop a bit more the “sociological side” and other aspects of that transition. I’ll come now and then to see how you are doing and I congratulate you on the courage it took to go on nationwide televison about your GID.

Yours truly
Michelle

I wanted to let you know how very much I was moved by your story and touched by your courage. It takes bravery to be true to yourself and to live your life with the knowledge of who you are. You have taught your children a lesson in courage and dignity as well as respect for those who may walk a different path, may be disabled or simply feel there is a different way to live.

I am a disabled veteran … I commend your bravery and courage.

I hope we will talk at some point. May God bless you and your family. May peace surround you.

Thank you for making this blog. It has provided more information to the big picture I am trying to solve. Here is some background info. I live in a part of Georgia where diversity has difficulty growing. I love my job here. I work as a network admin for the DoD and prior to that I was an INFOSEC analyst. I have been trying to run from the trans feelings all my life and have jumped from various activities to stay distracted. I decided not to fight the feeling anymore and I am currently, albeit slowly, starting transition. I have decided to relocate to the Seattle area. Among other reasons, one being I love the place, I have accepting family there. I will be making a stop overseas in the process, but I plan on beginning my new life when I arrive. Among my many interests is also flying. I worked hard on obtaining my certificate and I plan to take it to at least a part time professional level. I so enjoy sharing the experience with others. I even was a member of CAP. Now that I have said all that. I was wondering how your experience with the AME was, if you have had one since? I know there are trans airline pilots so it doesn’t appear as a problem, but know one has stated if they ran into any speed bumps.

Thanks
CP

Megan>> I haven’t gotten a new medical yet, as mine hasn’t expired, so I’m not sure if it will or won’t be a problem yet. I don’t think it will be as the FAA has a whole process around changing your gender on your license and medical….

best of luck to you!
