I joined this forum because frankly I need to vent and even if nobody can help me at least the venting maybe cathartic. To summerise, I've been on HRT for almost three years, got plenty of laser and have a wonderful trans-girl friend who I've been with for six years and my Mom accepts my choice to transition. Sounds great, right?
Well now comes the bad stuff. I'm going to legally change my name next week, officially move in with my Girlfriend half way across the country but the main problem is my Father. How should I put it-oh yeah, he's religious.

To add to the stress he is getting married to his new girlfriend at the end of this year and wants me to be the best man.

I want to do this for him but even if I attend the wedding and dressed as a guy as a once of I can't be the best man as the marriage would be invalid if I didn't use my new female name. What a dilemma. The thing is I'm stressed enough what with moving, and sorting out my bank details, medical card etc once I legally change my name. My Fathers marriage was just kind of sprung on me this week and has put a bit of a spanner in my plans. I really don't want to leave him down but I know he will never accept me and I am literally terrified of telling him. From a practical perspective I really hope I am not going to be disinherited and lose the house which he is leaving to me, but obviously I'm not going to postpone my transition for that. I've postponed my transitions for other reasons in the past and living as a guy is killing me. I just can't do it anymore and I have to be selfish and just get this over with this week. Alas, I am stressed to bits. Anyway, that's all for now I guess. Thanks for listening.
