Hello everyone!

My name is Kate and I’m from New Zealand. I’m 46yo and pre everything. Still coming to terms with myself and in the process of coming out to friends. I don’t hate being a guy, but get so much gender euphoria being a woman.

I enjoy socialising & having a few drinks, doing bjj and mountain biking. Gotta do something to keep fit.

Things have gone way better than I expected. My wife and I have recently separated because of this, but she is very supportive anyway. Everyone that her and I have told, have been completely supportive and also the local trans community have been amazing. The “Later” part is odd I guess. I spent 44 years as a guy, so I wonder sometimes if I am trans or just curious. Like I feel I should have known years ago, so am I kidding myself. But then I play a scenario in my head - if my Dr told me I was a crossdresser and not transgender, how would I feel? And I found I would feel sad and disappointed I wasn’t a woman. Self doubt, argh.

I guess my question is: What is it about being a woman do you love the most?

The fastest is a carnivore…

But they are providing tax cuts, aren’t they?

That’s a compelling argument 🤣

From memory minimum wage earners get something like $25 per week, which I know isn’t much. Middle income earners ($120k+ combined) get $120 per fortnight back. People earning over $80k don’t get any additional cuts.

Their policy specifically states tax cuts for the bottom 3 brackets. I don’t know why the calculator isn’t showing any cuts for min wage.

You know the tax cuts are for the bottom 3 tax brackets, don’t you?

Love your enthusiasm. You make it sound exciting. I’m still trying to figure out what’s going on with myself and you make it sound a lot less scary. Thank you Miss brainfart 🙂

Thanks. Found it. Now I can read without squinting 😄

I see this post is almost a week old now, so hope things have gone well if you’ve had the conversation.

Ideally you want to front foot this so you can control how and when she finds out. My wife found out when she saw the notifications from my reddit account. Shit hit the fan. It’s settled down now, but almost 2 years on she still has trust issues. I’m out to close friends (as to what I am, I’m not sure yet) but sill present male virtually all the time.

Also it’s the people we care the most about that are the hardest to tell. I feel guilty telling friends cause I feel like I’ve wasted the time they’ve invested in the previous me and they may not want to be friends with the new me.

You aren’t alone 🙂

That is worse than nothing. I got angry just reading this.
