Cake day: June 17th, 2023

help-circle

  • Was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Only one counter protester with a “one man for one woman” sign… who got covered in Pride flags.

    Lots of wonderful outfits with people just enjoying being themselves.

    Went with my partner and met some of her colleagues, which was so great to meet them.

    A heck of a lot of walking of course… and Edinburgh is so hilly… but such a gorgeous city.

    Was the first time I was really out in public feeling quite comfy in fem clothing too.

    As a bit of an introvert though it took a couple of days to recover from all the socialising… plus it was pretty emotionally exhausting with coming out to friends so recently and being out in the march and evening drinks.





  • The first time my sexual questioning came up my dad felt it was supportive with “I don’t care what you are, so long as your happy… just so long as you aren’t gay <laugh>”

    That was followed by a moment’s uncomfortable silence and “more bi or pan really … still trying to work things out”

    There was more silence and I dropped him at the train station…

    He’s been a lot more supportive more recently though thankfully…
