    After putting it off for a long time, I'm finally out on Facebook, the last frontier (meaning my family, friends and former classmates will know). A friend has been texting me to calm me down since I'm a bit of a hot mess right now. I don't know if anyone said anything yet, but I'll check in the morning or have said friend do it for me and send the info back to me.

    This is going to be such a doozy.

    I might ask a friend to tell me if anything is happening, unless I man up and see for myself. I'll figure it out as things go by.

    If they are your friends, then they will accept you. I know this is cliche, but you have obviously accepted your pansexuality yourself, so if people don't accpet you, screw them; they aren't worth your time. But I understnad you care about them and their opinions...but it will all work out :slight_smile:

    Well, I outed myself as trans, not being pan. That's what has me more concerned than my sexuality.

    So I manned up and went to check Facebook. I had notifications, but none that I can see are relating to the name change or anything. I think I'm okay so far.

    Tomorrow might be more promising, since sure 99% of people either don't notice or don't care. But hey, better that than getting hate mail.

    So it looks like I'll have something new to bring up in therapy since I was going to ask again if I should do it now. :slight_smile: The one down side is that I've yet to hear back from my dad yet so I'm not sure if he's having phone trouble or what. I'm just hoping I hear from him soon so we can hang out for a bit again before I tell him.
