UPDATE, Michelle...
I went to my next (3rd) Transgender Peer Group meeting tonight. It was a small gathering (a total of 6 of us), but I actually got up the nerve (me being the very shy-type) to read your outing story to the group. EVERYONE loved it! A great, positive outing story, and my whole TG Peer Group wishes you all the best! aka: Your story was a hit!!
AND, since I "broke my silence" for the first time, I finally contributed to the discussions instead of being a "wall flower" and just sitting there. Even though I have been giving my "Male name" at each meeting, I had finally told them that my femme name is "Maria". One of the M2F Transsexuals there told me, as we broke for the evening, "Can I call you Maria? You look like a Maria!" So, I guess "Maria" has kinda stepped out from behind the door and gave some others a glimpse of the "woman within". We'll see how things go from here.
Reading your story helped me a lot. Thank you very much!
