I’m a manmoder and don’t pass, but I can’t take the misery of manmoding and hiding anymore, so I feel like I should come out to some people at least so I can hear my chosen name and stuff irl for once. My friends are supportive and would go along with it, but I know it would feel fake and would just be them being nice. And after I come out, there’s not really a way to put the cat back in the bag again. So idk if I should do it :(
The further you go into transition, the more natural it gets. Maybe the best time is not now, but later. I’d suggest coming out when you’re confident enough to face the awkward phase.
It’s been 3 years since I started HRT 😔
Guess “confident enough” is nonexistent metric here. Better be sorry that you’ve done something, than if you haven’t, isn’t it?
