Title: My -nearly- coming out story!
Post by: Keely Mcbain on December 02, 2013, 04:49:32 AM
Hello

I know people want a coming out tale but I didn't quite get there. But, I'll give you a little story.
I'm Trans (Duh) but I'm also in a relationship at the moment. For months I felt as though I was betraying her (to me it felt a bit like cheating). I have tried for years to come out to anyone but always ended up backing out, and now It was even harder. She is an extremely understanding and caring person but that didn't change how hard it was for me. I thought she might not want to be with another woman.
A few weeks ago I received a Facebook notification that she had shared a picture on a page that was about
GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Trans)  rights and what-not. This was a sign from the heavens for me because it told me that she supported the GLBT community and If I was lucky, A part of it herself.

I still didn't make a move.

Now the story takes me to yesterday night. Where she told me that she was a bi-sexual. I planned on coming out right then and there except the conversation sort of moved on before I managed to say anything.

Thanks for taking your time and reading (it feels great to let people know my story)
Will update if I end up coming out!

Have fun!

Uh baby, I think she has a pretty good idea already. I think she is putting out clue's to let you know it is OK to come out. I does get harder to come out the longer you delay, or at least it was in my life. Cowgirl up and go for it. Only my opinion though.  :)

What makes you think that? I've put a lot of effort into not letting her or anyone I know find out (I'm probably my own worst enemy).
I haven't really thought about it but now I kind of hope she already knows. That would make my life ten times easier if she did.

I learned early on any time someone opened the door for me I would take advantage of the opportunity and step out of the closet. Of course the first few times were tough but it so much better out rather than in.
