I'm pretty open about it right now. I mean, I'm not going to walk up to someone random and say "Hello, I'm not really a guy!" or anything like that, but if someone asks me, I'd (most likely) tell them. I'm a very blunt and down-to-earth person. My friends come to me for advice because they know I'll tell them what needs to be said, instead of what they want to hear. Best friend says that's a Taurian trait, and it may be, but that's another story for another time. When I came out, I wanted to scream it to the world (metaphorically speaking), but I knew that, especially living in the Southern US currently, it would not be a good idea. People here get enough flak about being bisexual or gay/lesbian. It's not quite understood why you'd like your own gender romantically here, let alone wanting to change your outwards gender. Anywho, I do plan on still telling people (almost always will be my significant other) that I was born with a female's body. Especially since I won't be getting the prosthetic bottom surgery (way too expensive and, from what I've read, somewhat pointless in comparison to the cost), just the top and hysterectomy. So, yes, I will stay out as trans even after it is all said and done, just only to a select few that earn my trust.
