I came out to several (abt 9) of my friends, from high school and work over the past 3 days.. 3 have not answered me, at all, but my PMs to them, have been read. (FB). I will give them time. if they do not reply, or drop me, it's tough, but I'll move on.
The other 6.. OMG, I could not be more happy that they accept, abt half do not understand, but they are trying, and thats all I can wish for. One of them, one of my halloween haunter friends (LOVE HER!), has a couple friends that are also trans, and says thats how she can totally accept me, without question. She asked her friends if its ok to have us meet.. and now, we are good friends. Lots of tips, and advice, and hugs.
Plus.. and this is really the greatest thing ever... two of the friends I came out to, well.. tho we've known each other several years in the halloween haunting/decorating community, and were really close.. I had no idea they are trans also!! I didnt know abot them, and they didnt know abt me. When I wrote them, with my coming out letter, they thot they were being set up. Took just a few questions back and forth to really have them accept that I was outting myself, not them. They did not tell me abt themselves until 10-15 posts later. And then OMFG, the water works began!! took over half hour to stop crying! They also said there are quite a few others that I know, that are also transgirls.. but they would talk to them first before they say who. I am really good with that.
So in all, my life, tho it's going downhill very fast now, with my wife/family, my t-friends list, and non-t (will not ever say normal/regular) friends, is getting larger, and warmer. A couple of them want to meet for coffee or brkfast when I land in their towns. So I have lots more crying to look forward too, I better start hydrating now!
