Hit a milestone today in coming out!!! - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

kiersten · 16th Nov 2011, 08:57 PM

Well, today was a milestone for me! I have officially reached 50 people that I have now come out to as being both transgender & as a lesbian & I am absolutely blown away that not one of these people has even batted an eyelash when Ive told them. Three of my friends at college even just started using female pronouns with me without any requests from me & treat me as female right after I told them! Im stunned at how awesome coming out has been, epecially since I live in an area that isnt the friendliest to LGBT people. And of course, in true fashion & true to form, I came out to person #51 like 3 & half hours later today too! Whoo hoo!
