Just me talking about coming out as trans in my mid-50s.

So here is a very brief (yet rambling) explanation of where I'm at.

    Here's to inconsistency! Yay Sandy, you are YOU, unique and wonderful. I love that you are generous at this time as much as you are strong and determined. Lxx

    Thanks so much, Lynette... I think I just feel a bit vulnerable here and none of those things. It's an odd feeling at this time of my life, but it's also kind of an exciting feeling to know that I can still have these kinds of revelations (and in particular this one). Yes on inconsistency... long may it live in me! I think I've given up consistency for it being too reductive. Thanks again for all of your support! xx... SOS.

    Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. I find so much of what you said so relatable. I came out as nonbinary at age 34 and I came out as bisexual when I was 15. I kinda thought I was past that part of my life of dealing with coming out, but SURPRISE! Lol. I'm really glad you have a good support system and colleagues who respect you. That's so important.

    Massive kudos SOS. I can imagine that this is a very emotional & taxing time, please be kind and gentle on yourself & most importantly just keep being your good self. Xo

    Thanks you two! You've always been such a support and such a nurturing pair. I promise to take care of myself through this... it's tricky, but also incredibly freeing!

    Thanks so much, and thanks for sharing the bits of your life, too. I suspect this process is made trickier for all of us because there isn't a huge amount out there for the general public on what being non-binary means (or can mean). So it can feel a lot like we have to keep describing who we are, and sometimes getting blank stares (or, you know, eye-rolls... bless). Good luck right back atcha... I can honestly say this last year was hard and fantastic all at the same time!

    The power of the pronoun, so profound! Thank you sincerely for sharing your perspective, your strength, and your vulnerability.
