Hi, everyone!
Not sure if this is the proper place to post this question, but I was hoping to get some tips on coming out to several people in my life. I have already told my mother, father, sister, and many of my friends that I am transgirl, but I'm also smart in knowing who I can tell so far, and who I cannot. I guess I am proud of the fact that I know my loved ones so well.
However, my friend and I, for fun, try to look at the people I tell as if they are on some sort of tier list. The tier determines how scared I am to tell them, and how likely it is that they will be judgmental. I am now at the point in my life where the only remaining people are those that I consider at the top of that tier. They are the ones I am terrified of coming out to. These include my dad's side of the family, and... Most of all, my moms. They are old fashioned, religious and conservative people, and even though they are wonderfully kind I just don't know if they will be able to accept me.
Does anyone have any tips on how I slowly come out to them, should the time arrive? Also, now that I've come out to a majority of my friends I want to find a way to slowly start showing my female side to them, while also slowly making them feel more comfortable. The same goes for being around the house with my family. I thought of dressing a bit more androgynously, but maybe that is too big a step? My goal is to slowly make everyone feel comfortable with me, as I slowly start to identify, physically and mentally, with the person that I truly am. I feel if they are more comfortable that will easily make me more comfortable.
Thanks ^_^
