Confused? If you followed my old account before then you're still following me now.

Being #transgender means I'm changing my account name to reflect my new identity.

I plan to keep greeting new arrivals, boosting loads of toots and making occasional pithy comments.

Nothing changes here on Mastodon other than my name and pronouns (she/her, BTW).

My apologies if you're a former co-worker, old friend or distant relative finding out that I'm #transgender from this toot and you think I should have told you sooner.

But I know a LOT of people and it's simply not practical for me to have that many intimate conversations first.

So I'm telling you all now about the joy I feel. ๐Ÿ’–

Some of you might have questions about me "suddenly" being #transgender. I get that. And you can go ahead and ask.

Just keep in mind that I might not answer all your questions or even respond immediately. Please allow a girl a bit of discretion and time.

Thank you all for listening. I appreciate you so much! ๐Ÿฅฐ

@lisamelton I'm definitely surprised, but it's a very happy surprise.

Enjoy being your true self!

@lisamelton: A lot of these questions are homeomorphic to "How come you never came out before you first came out?".

@lisamelton you have to do what makes you comfortable and what keeps you safe. It's wrong that people need to consider their safety when deciding whether or not to let people know they are transgender, gay, or queer, but that's the world that most of us live in.
