    My boy mode keeps getting less and less convincing… and I love it lol

    It does make me feel like I should probably hurry up and finish coming out to everyone who doesn’t know yet, before people start figuring it out on their own 😬

      Same, but coming out is so hard. I haven’t had a single good reaction, and a few horrible ones, I need new friends 😫

        It’s so scary, isn’t it?! I’m sorry to hear your friends haven’t been supportive, you definitely deserve better

        I’ve been very fortunate that everyone I’ve come out to so far has been really positive and supportive. But I also started with all the “easy” ones: my queer and progressive friends, my therapist, etc. And I still have to figure out how to manage coming out to my conservative Catholic family, and at work.

        I feel like I’m spending so much time agonizing over what might happen, I just need to have it be done so I can deal with whatever actually does end up happening

          Well, what are they going to do? Ask “hey, are you transitioning?” If the answer is no, how mortifying would that be? It’s like asking if someone is pregnant, you don’t, even if you’re sure.
