who was the first person you told about being trans

[Samantha6string]

I told my two best friends, who are a couple.

Besides a therapist my wife was the first person I told. It was the right person to tell. I recently told a close friend of my wife who is lesbian. She was super supportive, and knowing her own battle with coming out, she was the right choice. She isn't going to out me to the rest of the world, and at this point, I don't care if she does.

The 1st person I told was a best friend during my teens

I told my best friend at the time who is now currently my boyfriend. He was cautious at first but tool it well, and apparently took quite the liking to my new self expression.

I told my fiancé when I was 27 but I didn't try to transition for the sake of our relationship; we broke up when I was 32, then I met another woman about a year later, and we got engaged the following year, then I came to the realization that transition was inevitable for me, so I broke up with her. I started the transition process when I was 35, and my therapist was the first person I came out to since telling my first fiancé, and the next person I told was my mom.

My best friend who later came my room Mate.

She was super supportive, she actually encouraged me to explore my femininity.. she found my therapist.. and she supported me when i started hrt.. she was even there when I got SRS.

She basically taught me how to be woman.. I got fashion advice from her such dressing for the occasion, she taught me to apply makeup properly, how to walk in heels and even how to paint my nails.. This gave me a lot of confidence to go out in public and to be one of the girls.. she told me.. act like a woman and the world will treat you like one... there are many types of woman in the world.. and they come in all shapes and sizes..

She even took me to get my ears pierced..

without her.. well I would never had the courage to even speak to a therapist.. never mind HRT or SRS.... I would have still being a guy that loved pantyhose and skirts who is shy.. not the confident woman I am today

I told one of my long time friends who I've known since Jr high. He is very supportive and so are his parents.

I told my girlfriend recently, and she has been very encouraging. She says she is a little overwhelmed sometimes. I am travelling for work now, and she likes it when I send her pictures

My wife was the first person I told when I knew I was trans.

About 20 years before, I had told two previous girlfriends and my wife (then gf) about sincerely wishing I could be female, but at that point I was so far from being able to take it seriously that it hardly counts.

The upside was that it was really easy to tell my wife, because she has been instrumental in my coming to terms with myself. She's probably almost more comfortable with this than I am, and is a constant source of support.

The first person I told was my brother. I remember texting him and then sending him a long text about it and he called me and told me he loved me and that he would be there for me the whole way, and he really has been. I told a couple of friends and all of them were really supportive as well and I haven't really lost anyone due to this reason so far which I am extremely thankful for. I haven't come out to anyone on my mom's side of the family but most of my dad's side knows and said they're supportive even though I never talk to them. It took my mom a little to understand it but after having a 4am talk where we talked in depth about a lot of stuff she said that she understood she, along with my brother and my closest friends, have become my rocks and I couldn't be more grateful to them.

My wife.

The first one I told was Mr. Winky, he popped up and gave me a hard look, I told him he'd have to stop doing that, he's been a bit bent ever since
