    Iv been struggling to suppress my gender identity issues since i was very young and I dont want to do it any more but I dont feel confident enough because I already know most of my friends have negative oppinions on the subject. I would really appreciate any advice offered :icon_sad:

    do what you need to do to be happy and always be true to yourself the people who are worth worrying about will stand by you and if they dont you always have us

    personally i was too scared to do my coming out face to face so i did it via text which worked out really well as it gave everyone (including me) a bit of space to process things

    good luck - peace

    Thanks for the input, I think coming out via text might help with some people.

    Coming out without being able to see the person's reaction in-person would be best. You can take more time to think about what to say back. Also, if people don't want to be friends with you anymore, don't worry, because they weren't worth your time. If your friends really care about you, they'll understand and help you through this.

    Its not so much losing friends that worries me as it is the potential for violent reactions( unfortunately where I live people for the most part have homophobic attitudes and this includes some of my friends
