I've told several online friends that I'm transgender, along with my parents, but so far, none of my offline friends know who I really am. Today, though, I'm considering telling one of my friends at the college whom I sometimes carpool with on the way home. (Ironic thing is, I was going to tell her and another friend at the same time, until she happened to mention that that other friend is LGBT-phobic.) Wish me luck!

And just like that, I completely failed. Well, not completely. I talked to S today - my friend whom I was going to tell about my identity. Well, I re-discovered the reason why I haven't come out face-to-face before: that incredibly forgettable and powerful feeling of dread that just completely makes you unable to say anything. Luckily, I get to try again on Monday, then Wednesday, then Monday through Wednesday of the three or four weeks after that before the end of the quarter.
