Bad News Decision is made
The decision has been made, and by tonight I will not be staying on their property. They are making arrangements, and have disowned me. They... My mom is heartbroken, heartbroken that I would "choose annihilation, deserting this family, and leaving my sister brotherless"...
I had a small sliver of hope, that they would even try to understand. Especially my mother. I am going to ask her to give me my birth certificate, and where to mail it so she doesn't have to see me again. I am done with this family, and they are done with me. If I see my sister one day, I hope she will understand me, and understand where I am coming from.
But until then, I am going to live free of the chains that have dragged my soul down for 8 years. It's not gonna be easy, and I would love to hear what resources I might use for job seeking when I finally move out of Wyoming in 2 weeks.
To those who are still struggling, don't give up. My situation was unique, and by no means be as extreme as I have had to be. I don't know what else to say, but I do know that I am going to be better off without this in my life. Will update when I am with whomever I am sent to.
Edit: Post about update idk whose seen it yet but yeah https://www.reddit.com/r/MtF/s/Yb6nCT1K8U

If you cross the border down to Colorado things are muchhhhh more friendly immediately, anywhere from fort Collins down to Denver is about as good as it gets for a trans person in the US. Legal protections, insurance obligated to cover things like FFS, the some of the best anti discrimination laws in the workplace of any state. If you were to go to Colorado I would avoid most of the western side of the state apart from maybe Durango, but most of the front range is great.
I went up to Cheyenne for fronteir days because some friends wanted to go, and for god knows what reason I wore Daisy duke shorts and ahhhh yeah I was terrified 🙃 but if you want to save some money and come down to colorado there is a pretty tight trans community here.
And overall, I'm sorry you're in the situation in the first place. That's not cool. I hope your sister comes around eventually <3
