Yeah I never wanted to tell anyone about this via text message and this is reason enough to never do it again, but it all started off as a common text convo.
He asked me what was going on lately, so I told him, then he said that I was lying and said to talk to him again when I didn't feel like being an idiot about it all. It offended me, and I told him I was serious to which he responded that he didn't want to waste his time with my jesting. So I sent him a picture of me as my real self and insisted that I was not joking around and he still didn't believe me. Just said "oh you must be in your wife's clothing and trying to play some sick joke on me"
Whatever. That's fine with me, don't come around asking for a ride to work again. He was my supposedly my most openly "LGBT friendly" guy-friend too.
Blah, I want a cigarette. I guess it's time to go to bed. I knew telling my guy friends would be the biggest ordeal yet! Family was soooo much easier!

I think text is a poor medium, it makes it much harder to convey emotion, the tone of your voice really says how serious you are much better than words do.
I hope your friend comes around, he might be feeling blindsided idk, I just hope it works out. All I can do is wish you the best.

Yeah, I was supposed to go out with him tonight to watch the USA/Ghana match and we were just chatting and it kind of came out. His response was just not what I was expecting. Oh well, he's always kind of been a little shady (see: I'm really only your friend when I need YOU to be MY friend)

I hope you can take your socks off now & maybe your wifey will not be upset with toe nail polish. Such fiction.

I told one good friend via text, however he lives in another state. It actually felt slightly easier for me.
I wouldn't reccommend it as a general rule, but I had a pretty good grasp already on how he'd react.
