At least on facebook lol. Like I want to come out in general, but I guess I'll take waht I can stand. It's really great knowing my gf is behind me, she give me that extra boost to do what I need, but everytime I want to go, I stop. I want to talk to my therapist first to see what she say and bounce some ideas off of her. I feel like once I have that inital step of coming out done, the rest will come tumbling after. Just needed to vent.

Facebook is great for this. What I did was set up a new page with my now official name and sent an email, through facebook to all of my friends explaining the situation. I then said if you are still interested in being in my life friend me under my new account. Everyone was awesome about it. Also easier as a lot of my FB friends do not live near me.
Good Luck

I was going to send a message to all my close friends on there explaining everything, and then just change my name. And, if anyone had any questions they could message me. I just might do that. But probably not tonight. LoL.

I think this is an awesome approach to the subject.

On another note, Im excited and scared all at the same time. Im excited that your ready and going to tell people but it scares me too.. prolly more excited than scared though.

I know it's not really relevant, but Facebook has uses?  O.O  Woooow.  I thought it was just a new way for my friends to organize events without consulting me and then acting like I was a jerk for not knowing about things.

I'm thinking of having a facebook page.

But.

I'm also thinking about getting a job in a more conservative area.  If I friend my trans friends, or come out as gay on it, that could have negative repercussions in getting a job later.  And I'd hate to not friend friends... or worry that I might be outed by what they might post.

But I can see the benefits.

Jay (damn conservative areas anyway!)
