Just before Christmas I came out to a therapist I had been seeing for depression. I then came out to my parents. I started seeing a guy around Christmas. He's a good friend and he knew I was bisexual but I didn't tell him about feeling trapped in the wrong body. All this week I'd felt I probably should tell him as things between us are getting more serious. In my head I'd thought that I'd tell him and he would think I was weird and leaving me, you know? Any way, I told him last night and I was shocked by his response. I know he's a pretty open minded guy and doesn't judge others but it's got to be shocking, you know? So I was prepared for the worst. When I told my parents, they walked out. Later they came to me and said I needed medication to 'sort my head out' and I'd be fine and stuff like that, then didn't talk for months and still now, it is weird between us and it isn't allowed to be mentioned. So I was expecting something similar maybe.
Any way, he was shocked at first obviously and I was trying not to cry and began rambling on and on. He just pulled me into his arms and kissed my head, making me cry my eyes out! He said he isn't mad, doesn't hate me and all that. He says he's glad I could share it wih him and that he can help me through it. He has been very understanding and hasn't treated me any differently since knowing. I feel really happy. I know I haven't been with him all that long (Around 6 months), but he means a lot to me and he really has made me feel like myself and I feel I can be that around him without worrying and all. I was scared I'd never really find anyone who accepts me for me but he said he doesn't care if I'm male, female, both, dog, cat, he likes me for who I am (Then called me by the male name I want to be known as). And that just, has really... wow, I don't know how to really explain how great I feel right now. Obviously it won't be easy and all but I was scared things between us would just crumble when he knew but it is exactly the same as before telling him. We need to talk some more as I know there's some things he is a little unsure of and everything but I'm glad he wants to ask questions rather than act the way my parents have.
I just wanted to share it with everyone here. I hope it can give some people, who feel like no one will ever love them for who they are, some hope
