General
Okay to start, I believe reintroduction are in order.
Hi! I'm Reachel and I'm Transgender(pronouns She/Them). So yeah, I've got a ton of overhauling of this page to do.
I could have started a new page and account to start fresh but in all honesty, I've got way too much pride as a computer nerd over the fact that I have a 5-letter username on FA. Plus I'm fairly sure there are ways to update at least what name it showing on my page. And worst case if seeing Razul really does end up bothering me that much then I'll just go ahead and make a new page.
So let's power through a super quick overview of how things have happened over the last 7 or so years.
[*]WIA totally fell through and was basically a waste of time.
[*]July 2013, I got rehired at big box store. Now working in Electronics. Also moved back in with my parents
[*]November 2014, quit working at big box store and started doing Housekeeping at a nearby mental health hospital.
[*]July 2015, My brother and I move out of our parents house getting an apartment together. It's been quiet great.
[*]October 2019, start to realize how even just a lateral move into a similar position but working somewhere else would be good for my mental health.
[*]February 2020, Oh boy did I have amazing timing leaving that mental health hospital to start work as a custodian for a nearby city government. I started out by cleaning the public works offices and the Police department.
[*]March 2020, Being Transgender finally clicked. (A thing that in all honestly I've been struggling over for longer then I've been on FA)
[*]May 2020, Came out to my brother as being Trans. He's super supportive.
[*]July 2020, Thank F-ing Christ I got asked if I wanted to cross-train by transferring to the public Library as they were opening back up to the public.
[*]September 2020, Came out to my parents as being Trans. They are being supportive and understanding.
[*]November 2020, Am now actually reassigned to the Public Library.
[*]Oh and honorable mention, at near the end of the month I have an appointment with an endocrinologist and will hopefully be starting HRT soon after.
So yeah things have had their ups and downs, but over all life has been mostly treating me well. Like admittedly I've had barely any drive to write so creatively yeah not great. I do have some old drafts I want to go back too and maybe work on cleaning up some. Honestly though, the biggest thing was realizing that a bunch of my work is Hetro stuff, while in actuality working out that I'm, like, Super Gay-leaning. Also not having a clue of how to get started with writing lesbians. Of like who would be some good writers to check out for example. So that's been a thing I've been working through.

Most of those sound like really good points. Congratulations on coming out! I'm so glad to hear that your family was supportive!

OP
Yeah overall the things have been well. I've definitely had some stuff go sideways (Say with trying to go back to college and that kind of failing miserably), but I've very fortunately and avoided any major personal tragedies. And mostly due to the pandemic I haven't been about to explore and express my new gender identity as much as I would like but not really much I can do about that.
