    I'm going to tell my best friend that I'm transgender. He's been my best friend since first grade and he already knows I'm bi and accepts me, so I'm hoping for a good reaction. I've been planning on coming out to him all week, and I'm finally gonna do it tomorrow. Unfortunately, I could not enlist the help of my other friend who knows, because she's out of town, but I've decided not to wait for her to come back and face him on my own. I'm done with him not knowing.

    Kudos! That's a big step especially to someone so close to you. I wish the best of luck, I'm sure they'll accept/understand.

    It's fantastic that you feel confident and know that it is the right time to come out to him as transgender. From the sounds of it, it should go pretty well. :slight_smile:
