So after many weeks of panicking - i just finally managed to tell a very close friend who i don't see that often about my genderfluidity via facebook. They're the first person i've told, and I was so worried that it would change things between us, i was shaking as i was typing and i wanted to take it back when i sent a link to them with the definition of genderfluid. ...Their immediate response was "is that it?" and that i shouldn't be panicking over something like that cause "we're friends no matter what". I may have cried a bit. more than a bit. a goddamn lot. I was laughing and grinning at the same time though. The relief i felt was unbelievable. We ended up talking -(them using male pronouns without me even asking)- about how best i should tell the other people close to me, binders, and - their main concern - what nicknames they could use to fit the new name i'd been thinking of going by. I can't stop smiling, i still feel like crying, and i feel so much more confident about letting others know. (i'm still apprehensive about telling my mum, but my friend says they'll be there for me when i do) - All in all; a fucking brilliant day! :eusa_danc
I'm so happy for you! It must have been a great relief You'll see that most people are accepting, and those who aren't should be just ignored. Good luck on telling your mom!
I'm really happy for you! I had a similar experience when i told my two best friends! They were both very happy i felt i could tell them and asked if i wanted pronouns etc etc *hugs* yay for you!
