The essence of this diary is really contained in the title: I'm trans (male), and I'm coming out. Also, I'm gay. If you find either of the above statements offensive, immoral, or in any way bothersome, or if you are irritated or bored by personal diaries, I'd like to respectfully request that you return to browsing the many less squicky diaries this site has to offer, because I'm going to spend the rest of this one telling my story. Thank you!

And thanks to those who are still here.

There are those who would say that the 'standard' autobiographical trans narrative coming-out story has been done to death, and they may be right. Mine isn't particularly unusual. But then, there might be a reason why so many different people keep telling what sounds like the same story. Maybe there's value in the sameness.

I found myself wishing the author had wrote more. A clear indication of a good writing style in my opinon.
