After making sure that I could talk about anything with one of my close friends over facebook, I sent him a letter where I held nothing back and told him about how I'll never go to the grave as a boy, because I'm a girl. And I got my first super-supportive response from coming out, which felt amazing. With my parents, with my sister, there was some degree of hesitancy, and there still is. But this guy was fully eager to use my new pronouns and everything. Together we sat down and made some talk about ways I could open up to the rest of my college friend group. It's nerve wracking to think that soon they'll all know, but when I think about how they'd totally be the greatest group to have at my back, it doesn't make me nervous, it makes me excited!
