Coming out over message, is it a good idea?

    I need to come out (as trans*) tonight and there's only one person I can come out to. The issue is that he's overseas so I'll need to message him. Is it okay to do this, just randomly come out to someone 10,000 km away over text. I'm not waiting until we're already talking, I'm just going to send one, long message.

    I'ts all typed up and my finger is hovering over the send button, the only question is; do I click it?

    Abdadhie, you can Come Out (or not Come Out) to anyone you feel comfortable with and in any manner that you feel most comfortable with.

    If you're going to text message this person, be prepared if he is confused at first. He may think you are joking. Even if he doesn't think you are joking, it may take an exchange of several texts to clarify things. Alternately, you may not get a response for a while as he processes what you tell him.

    Good Luck! This is a courageous thing you are contemplating.

    Take Care.:slight_smile:
