So, I decided to tell me best friend that I'm transgender. She's someone that I've never kept secrets from (well, except for one) and since I've come to terms that I'm Trans it has been eating away at me. Hilariously enough, the night before I called her, she had a dream in which I was a girl!

I was terrified of telling her. I didn't know her views on Transgenders but she was instantly accepting. She said she's going to start doing some reading to understand what I'm going through and help me. Even typing this up I'm starting to tear up again. It's so liberating to have someone to share this with, a shoulder to cry on now.

After I told her, we talked for hours. Sometimes we talked about me being trans, then other topics, then back to trans. It felt completely natural.  I feel like our relationship has gotten deeper than ever.

I'm floored how great she's taking all this. And now I have a girl coach to help me learn the finer points of being female when I'm finally in position to begin my transition.

I gotta stop here, I'm starting to cry too hard to see now. I haven't felt this happy in years. My face actually hurts from smiling so much!

That is wonderful Kylie. I am so happy for you.

Congrats Kylie. It's wonderful to hear that she is so supportive. Good luck and Hugs

Fantastic! I recently came out to my sisters and was immediately accepted too. I'm really happy for you!

Hugs, Devlyn

That is so awesome!!  Congrats!

Thanks guys. We've been talking sooooo much more now. It's a huge relief to finally have someone I can vent to when things get rough. I've known her for almost a decade now, but our friendship has gotten so much closer and deeper that it absolutely blows my mind every time I think about it. Even now, almost two weeks later I still can't help but smile when I think how amazing she is.

I even built up enough courage to tell one other friend who lives a lot closer (the first friend lives over a thousand miles away) and she's been great as well. Since I can't transition yet, having two people that I can lean on and trust implicitly has been a huge help mentally. It doesn't feel like I'm so alone anymore.

I think I can finally hold out until I can talk to the ship's psycho about everything. Before, I felt like I was going to blow up.

Great news Kylie and awesome that you have a kindred spirit to help and support you.
You can now further enjoy your journey

So wonderful to hear good news. Thanks for sharing!

Oh wow kylie that's great news. I really needed to read this, this morning. It even made me smile reading it. I was also surprised about my mums reaction going so well. And I had to ease her into it with a bunch of trans documentaries. .
