This equal but opposite to the Who's been the hardest to come out to? thread.

Who's been the easiest to come out to? For me, it was my daughter, known here as Your Humble Savant. She seemed to accept my transition the most readily of just about anyone else I've come out to.

Well that would be the second person I came out too. I first came out to my big sister (not actual big sister but she has been one to me longer then I have been transitioning) I was nervous and it took me a few minutes to finally come out after asking if I could come over and tell her something. Almost immediately after that I came out to another of my best friends, her girlfriend. When she came into the apartment it just flowed out "I'm becoming a girl". I think her reaction will always be the most vivid in my mind, she yelled "You Bitch!" and ran over and gave me a huge hug. She didn't notice I was wearing heals, I wasn't dressed but big sis had me practicing in stilettos and she nearly knocked me on my butt. She has been massively supportive, I will always remember and be happy she is there for me.

For me it was my grandmother.

She turned 88 years last month but she is still mentally fit and very much up-to-date from watching TV. She is the best person I have.  :)

My little sister, but then she knew I've had issues with gender since we were very little. when I told her I was transitioning, she was like "Finally!!"  My dad was the second easiest, but then he knew i had issues too.

Yeah, for me it was my best friend. Perhaps because he was gay I felt some kind of kinship in talking about it. Still, I think he was unsure what it all amounted too...probably thought it just a phase...

Definately my ex gf who is now one of my greatest friends.  She was more shocked that I actually came to a decision than actually being trans because I've expressed to her in the past about my gender issues.  She has been one of my biggest supporters.  I actually asked her if she would accompany me when I get top surgery a few years down the line and she says if she can then she will if nothing pops up.  I wish she lived closer to me.
Feel the need to ask me something or just want to check out my blog?  Then click below:

My friends! Each and every one of them that I actually have "in-person" contact with has been great to me! Came out last night to another friend and that person was actually excited for me, and gave me some tips for facial feminization without surgery and just by doing simple things such as eyebrows, make-up tricks. etc. 
There's more to me than what I thought

Believe it or not it's at work.  As daunting as I thought the whole thing would turn out to be, work has been the most supportive.  There was this one guy who told me that I'm in for a very difficult time, but after about a month or so he's been so comfortable being around me.  Recently he sent me a link to a radio podcast that made him think of my issues.  I couldn't ask for anything more, in terms of support.  Apart from them, my close friends - the two gems that I would always treasure for the rest of my life and some more :)

Although I'm not out to many people yet, enough know to where I can answer this question; the easiest to tell was a friend of mine who, upon saying that I needed to tell him something, the first thing he said to me was "wait, are you trying to come out to me as trans?!" At the time I don't think it was that obvious, so I thought that was pretty cool. The easiest to be out to is my girlfriend who has by far been the most helpful and supportive, beyond what I would ever expect of her. Everyone besides these two have given me a pretty rough time though, so far.

I would have to say one of my close female friends who is bisexual herself.  Hard to top that, but everyone has been pretty good.
Outed myself to several of the girls in my Gender Studies class, same as the start of last Semester.  We just kept talking about how all four of use love false eyelashes.  :laugh:
It is about the safest place to do it, and the people taking the class are the sort who will have no problem anyway. If they do they are going to fail the unit miserably.

i would say people who already knew and just flat out asked me or told me. its odd but funny at the same time. one friend i asked out was like,"why are you asking me out? im pretty sure you dont even like girls. i think you are a girl or want to be one"

My 3 best guy friends, by far. They had no idea, but actually shrugged it off like it was a simple idea. However, for some strange reason, these same people who were nonchalant about my actual transition were all over me like teenage girls on Twilight when I told them I already decided on my new name. Weird...

PS--> I swear, when I saw "Grandmother", I was shocked. Glad to see not all seniors citizens are close-minded conservatives.
PPS--> Felix, I sympathize with you. I first came out to my hamster...

My mom. She said she didn't care one way or the other, which was a really comforting reaction to me.
