Hi FallenLeaves, I understand what you mean about the guys, but if you don't beleive there is a need to rush ahead on telling anyone else at the present time about transitioning, especially if you feel you are not 100% certain you are ready yet, then don't.  I believe you will know with no doubt when the time comes. If you are trans, GID will remind you, it can be quite merciless when it comes to reminding you. You will know without doubt when it is time to move forward. For the time being, I must say you are most fortunate to have your girl friend and those women friends supporting you.
