    so, basically, i'm out to pretty much all of my friends and a few family about my sexual orientation, but i'm not out to ANYONE about my gender identity. it makes me feel extremely depressed that i can't talk to my close friends about it, but when i try to bring it up in conversation i just freeze up and get super nervous. i'm 99% sure they would accept me and i really have no reason to think that they won't, but i just can't do it!
    does anyone have advice about how i can overcome this?

    My take on it, that I just posted in a thread of my own, is that if you want to change, and if you want to be happy, you have to take action. That might sound obvious, but it is really something that means a lot to me. It's by no means easy, but you HAVE TO do it, maybe not today or tomorrow, but sometime.
