Hi there.. I'm trying to figure out my game plan for coming out as trans female and could really use some advise. I've been working it through my head for years now, all I could think about is the ruptures coming out will cause in my family -_- I literally had to cycle around the world on a bicycle in the hope of escaping these feelings and situations before it became clear to me that nothing was gonna get easier unless I did this for myself. Now at 19 and seeing gender specialists I feel now's the right time to put things in motion. Yup.. As a massive introvert, this is a situation I've been putting off for a longggg time. I guess my questions are the same as everyone's really.. How accepting were your family at first ? Did they need any space? How did you break the news to people? Did anyone find it easier to confide in friends first ? Or even begin hormones before sharing with anyone ? I'm terrible at dealing with any social situation and this is gonna put about as much spotlight on me as it could.. Whichhhh sucks. I'm having a pretty darn hard time deciding who I deem close and relaxed enough with to share this with first so I hope you don't mind my ramblings.. Thank you for all your advice
