18 Apr 24 - calm restored after my coming out

The dust seems to have settled after my dramatic coming out on Sunday and life has resumed a mostly normal pattern. 

She has not mentioned anything about it since Sunday and I have not brought the subject up either as I think giving her a little time to think and not overwhelming her with new information will help.

Work has been sufficiently distracting for both of us anyway. 

I am suddenly more conscious of how much trans gender is referenced in tv shows though as whenever it is I can see her react.  

We like to watch Neighbours (guilty pleasure!) and that has a trans character (played by trans actress and inspiration Georgie Stone). Last night I noticed my wife look away from the tv during her scenes. Until this week, I think she had largely forgotten that her character is trans and accepted her as a woman.  

I think therefore that the next conversation when it comes will be just as hard as the first.
