Coming Out - the "Two Beer Rule"

[melissa42013]

Last weekend I came out to my cousin that I was TG. He was shocked but cool and very supportive. So a couple of days later I'm drinking with a friend of mine and decide to tell him. Well he thinks I'm "screwing with him" and wouldn't believe me. I just had to laugh and shake me head and think, "well it's not like I didn't try..."

So after that in talking with another TG friend (Stacy) she asks me what the cost/benefit of telling him would be. There really is no benefit now as I don't really have any answers to questions he would ask.

So she suggested I put a "Two Beer Rule" in place for coming out. If you planned it before then you can after two beers, if not.... Keep quiet.

Lol, It was actually whiskey and I don't think he totally thought I was joking based on what he asked my wife the next day............. lol

Lol...  what did he ask her? You never mentioned the follow up question...lol.

How many "fingers," were those whiskeys?

There is no way to take back comments about being wrong gendered.

You can get away with football teams, porno stars, cars anything.

But no way to withdraw gender comments.

Which personally I think has been great for me.

Whoops I've outed myself again

Cindy, explaining to the wife may prove interesting, but it has to happen

By that point we were free pouring and had pulled that little plastic filter thing out of the bottle. Not a good sign for the morning. The next day he asked my wife if I was serious. She said she didnt know what I had said (she did) and would have to ask me. It could have been a number of the wacky things I like to say but, probably the TG thing..... Oh well.

Like opening a fifth, looking at the cap and tossing it away thinking: "Hell, I ain't gonna need that again."

I will have to keep Melissa from drinking to much when she meets my wife! My have to institute a two drink rule on her or I may end up needing a place to live...  lol.
