It was kind of spontaneous. I'd been thinking about telling someone for a while, and I was already heading by his place. He had earlier confessed to me that he is bi-sexual, so I thought he might be more open to something like this. I stopped by to see if he was in, and asked if we could talk privately. I told him I was planning on transitioning. He was surprised because I put on a pretty masculine front, but other than that he was really cool about it. We talked about it for a bit and I answered some questions before I had to head out to meet up with my SO. It seems like I might have better friends than I thought I did.
I asked him to keep this private for now because we have some mutual friends that I work with, and I don't want work to be too uncomfortable right now. Still, if it gets out, I'm starting to feel like it wouldn't be that big of a deal. I don't think I know many people who would actually react as badly to this as I was afraid of.
