i just came out on facebook 3 hours ago

right now there are 18 people who "liked" the post and a person commented a heart
but nothing else yet
i've been meaning to do this for my 18th birthday but i was inspired when i saw that my ex-significant other also came out as a transman.
he's one year younger than me and he's much braver
but i suppose it has to do with where he lives
i really hope it all goes well and i don't get any prejudice at school tomorrow
i'm scared of any bad comments

The best of luck to you!!
I know coming out on Facebook can be a scary thing. But the good ting is that it easily helps you to weed out the people which you don't need or want in your life.
I personally made a new account so that people got a choice about whether they wanted to be friends or not.
But again the best of luck and I hope you will be pleasantly surprised about the support which can come from the most unlikely sources!

Yes. Facebook is a nice place to come out.
BTW, I never stated that I am transsexual or transgender. I just post my photos of daily life.
And, posting my bikini photos was the latest challenge in my Facebook history.

like i did
i just decided to address the problem immediately
i think you should mention a little about your story
and then tell those who do not understand to move on?
