today is my 3 years hrt and my best friend is with me for the weekend and i wanna come out to him i think.

is this shit:

hi buddy, been meaning to talk to you about this for a long time, but it’s complicated and hard to talk about.

Essentially i’m trans, it’s not a new thing, but i’m trying to make some steps in that and part of that is coming out to more of my chosen family. At the moment i’m kind of just going by X and they/them in my safe circles.

But yeah, sorry to drop a random text but i struggle to bring myself to talk about it in person.

The last thing i want is for you to treat me different or our friendship dynamic to change other than the aforementioned obviously.

I am happy to be asked questions about it tomorrow, but some i may not, and again i struggle to talk about it a bit, it’s scary and society sucks atm, but i trust you.

Love you babe.

        Okay okay so SOME people know thank the gods 😮‍💨

        Got it, that’s fair, men are scarier if you’ve spent a considerable amount of time living in close proximity to them while hiding in fear (As we’re prone to).

            Well, that’s really exciting and scary then, dropping the guise with your friend,

            What’s your plan, and trust me I know men are… less observant about nuances of femininity, but what are the odds he’s totes surprised and what are the odds he says “oh thank god, finally”?
