Title: OMG just told a friend I want to be a women
Post by: Sarah on August 16, 2013, 05:06:08 AM
OMG I have been reading everyone's blogs on coming out to friends and heard all the successes and the horror stories and I cant believe it.

I decided tonight to take a male friend to the shops tonight and while I was driving tell him. I was SOOO nervous. :icon_nervious: but when I told him he just sat there and said "oh really!" and asked me to elaborate. But let me give you a bit of context this guy is a bit of a macho man's man and is in the army :icon_2gun: but he is a good friend and I can't believe he accepted me. :icon_smile:

I was so shocked at his acceptance I just had to tell someone.

So happy right now :)

Yes defs I feel so much more at ease now that I have accepted myself and I have told a friend.

I suppose people can surprise you, so I'm defs going to tell some more people, working up to the time I tell my family.
