So there is a small group of guy friends I hang out with, whom I would call my best friends. For a while now, since coming out to some people about my feelings, I've thought about asking these friends to refer to me using female pronouns when I come out to them. Sort of like "*explains everything* So, do you think you guys can refer to me with female pronouns?". The reason I ask if it's a good idea is because I'm still not fully sure about my feelings... Although, the thought of them saying "Can you pass this to her?" seems so right, and comfortable... It makes me wicked anxious to talk to them and to hang out with them simply because they will use the pronouns. But, sometimes I have moments where I think "that would be weird". And I'm afraid I'd tell them to use female pronouns and then a week later say "this feels a little weird, can you stop?" and then the next week say "actually, can you do that again?". But when I think about NOT asking them to, a part of me kind of dies inside... Almost as though the coming out process wouldn't be complete.
Just as an clarification, this group would be the first I would ask to use female pronouns with me. They'd be sort of like guinea pigs I guess before I would ask others to.
