I just had the terrible experience of losing some friends .  I thought I was on safe ground in expressing myself to a friend. I had told him last year that I was bi all my life. I had the impression that he was gay. He told me everybody has their own way to live and don't worry about it. Then not too long ago after accepting myself as transgender I got really happy and decided to brave it and tell him in a text message and sent him a picture as I really am. He always text me back within a day. It's been 2 weeks . He works at a place that has others that I considered friends. I suspect he told the others which is all right because I've been high on estrogen for a while and was feeling my oats so I really didn't care. Now I'm afraid to talk to everybody or show my face because I'm going to be totally rejected. these friends are good people and I'd hate to have them hate me. I just don't  know how to deal with this situation. I f any body has any suggestions I greatly appreciate it .

Keep in mind, truly good people don't reject someone for trying to be themselves.

I lost some friends when I came out to everyone, some I regained after they got over themselves, others not, but not any great loss. you'll likely get opportunities to make more friends that will accept you for you.

I came out 3yrs ago & have lost many friends but I assure you it was worth it.
Those that I lost obviously weren't good friends & those that I kept are some of the best people i've ever known.

Some people were so shocked by my news that in spite of them being good people they didn't know how to respond, they were literally too stunned for words, I had to be the one to re-open the lines of communication, several of the people who didn't know what to say said that they had many questions but were afraid of offending me by asking, it wasn't until I told them that no question would offend me as much as being ignored that they realised that they had made the wrong choice by not getting in touch.

You say that you told him 2 weeks ago & are now afraid of rejection, I think that you should either phone him or go see him in person, if these people reject you then they never were true friends but if you don't atttempt to speak to them then you'll never know.
Right now you are letting your fears dominate your actions, fear feeds on uncertainty & the longer you leave it the harder it will be to break this cycle. Bite the bullet & take action, only then will you know if you have been rejected & until you have an answer you will be trapped in this state of uncertainty.
If the result is good then you'll probably feel silly for doubting them, if the result is bad then at least you'll be able to start dealing with it instead of worrying yourself sick.

If the result is bad then you'll always have support in dealing with it on this forum but I ask you to stop letting fear rule your actions for the sake of your own mental wellbeing.

The friends i've kept are amazing & the friends i've made since coming out outshine the so called friends that I lost.

I had a friend who, a year after telling her, told me that she could no longer be my friend because she was in love with me and she can't understand how I could do this. I totally get you. It hurts. The best you can hope for is that after a while, your friends will come to understand, but that is up to them.

If they won't stick around to see the real you, it wasn't you they were friends with anyway, it was their image of you. You're better off without such folks.

Remember- those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.

suzi and jill pretty much said it all...

friends who dont accept you arent your friends , you are so much better of without them...

and dont worry even if one person didnt accept you that doesnt mean that everyone will do the same, from my experience most people dont mind,,,some are even happy to get to hear such a confession...

You make new friends as a woman.
