Title: I did it!
Post by: ThaliaNyx on November 17, 2015, 05:27:43 PM
So I finally came out today to a friend I know in real life! We were talking about how it's Transgender Awareness Week, but I just couldn't say anything - but right before we went our separate ways, I turned around and said, "By the way - this week? It applies to me!" Then I basically ran home, since it was pouring. A few minutes later, I sent her a message from my female Facebook account, asking her not to tell anyone. In her reply a minute later, she immediately said that she accepted me. I'm just so happy, there aren't words to describe it. Not even the outright downpour can sour my mood!

Congratulations! 

I know, for me, the first person I told was the hardest.....  It gets easier with each one.  :)

Congrats!
Also real friends will ACCEPT
you, no matter what.

another way to see it is this;
Your friends became a friend because
they like *You* not a gender, not
a norm of a gender or anything like
that, people who are friends are that way
because they like hanging with you and
they enjoy you being.. well you!
