Hi all, I'd like to start this by saying thank you to everyone who did know beforehand and has been supportive and caring throughout this part of my life. You all mean a lot to me and I wouldn't be able to be sitting here writing this today if it wasn't for you, I love you all :)
On the other hand, I also owe an apology to many people. Over the last portion of my life I've lied about things, they've always started as innocent lies that I make for either attention or purely to make myself more comfortable with the people I'm around.
I understand that this is news to some people, harsh and unwelcome news at that, so if you're hurt by what I'm about to say I do honestly apologise fully. Things were never supposed to get this out of hand, and I know that I've hurt some people with this. If you can't see past this and you don't accept this, it's okay, I won't bother you or try to talk to you anymore but please try to respect any friendship we did have and don't talk about me behind my back. I'm fine with just going our seperate ways, there will be no ill feelings if none are given to me.
I've known for years now who I am, who I want to be and how I want to be as a person. I'm not very far into becoming said person, but this is one of the first steps on the way. A few people already guessed or thought this; but I'm Transgender. Specifically Male to Female.
I know that a lot of people around me would have accepted this from the start, but I never wanted to be seen as transgender. I was always comfortable being seen as Hannah, nothing more and nothing less, just myself.
I understand that to a lot of people this won't even matter, but this is something I feel I've needed to "come clean" about for a long time. My name is Hannah Eleanor Draper, and I act the same in reality as I do online. To some people that's all that matters, but I respect that to some people this is a bigger problem that they won't be able to look past easily.
To those people, you are okay to remove me, I won't bother you. I won't chase, I won't pursue, I'll be perfectly okay if you feel you're not comfortable being around me anymore. All I ask is that you respect my privacy if we do go our seperate ways.
After this I feel like I'm going to take a break from people for a while, I know this might not seem like much to most people, but this is a huge part of my life that is taking a great deal of courage and commitment to come out about.
If you see me around, on battle.net, Steam, Discord, I'd appreciate my privacy for a while. Leave me be for about a week while I deal with this. Thank you :)
