Came out to a friend today

I came out to a very close friend today. It went very well, he is very accepting, and has been in drag before, albeit for the Rock Horror Picture Show. I feel relieved, like one more weight was lifted off my shoulders. Lots of black humour helps

BTW, he is somewhat blue collar and and likes sharp weapons, so he'll get along fid with at least one of my sisters. He has also known T-girls before (no sexual interest) and LGB people. he was kind of surprised, but seemed to understand "same monkeys, different barrel", so when we get together we could wreak havoc at a Wal-Mart (our favorite late night haunt) near you I am just happy that even though I am transitioning there are some parts of my old life that I kind of like that stick with me. No sexual type issues either, there is an understanding that any type of sexual relationship would be like incest.

There's something about outing to the people close to you and getting their support that just feels wonderful, doesn't it?
That's also why I like close friends, that can care about me, rather than lots of less close friends.

I still feel like I'd have trouble facing old friends and sharing what I feel inside. Them and family is the ones I'm most scared of judging me..
