I asked all my roommates to start using male pronouns tonight! It felt so good and I'm so excited to see where this takes me in my transition.

Congrats Kyle! That's a big leap forward!

Sweet I hope it feels good. Don't forget that you may have to correct them a bit, and that having to do so isn't necessarily a step backward.

Congrats!  I found the first time the hardest ... after that I gained more confidence ...

Thanks guys I was worried that I'd be overcome with regret when I told them but once I told the first two it felt so good that I kept going. Next up I need to pick a new name to go by, I'm not really feeling Kyle as my IRL name. Two roomies said I should think about Tyler and I've been debating Dylan as well. I was so relieved that it felt good asking them to change pronouns. I feel more comfortable saying 'I'm a trans* guy'

I like Tyler a lot.
