I just accidentally posted the coming out speech I have been working on onto my Facebook and I figured, what the hell... I can't be bothered to get rid of it cause I'm on my phone so I just left it there. Now I'm just sitting here panicking slightly but so far my best friend has commented on it like 6 times and he definitely helped calm me down a bit. So yeah, if you're interested in reading what I wrote, it's just below:
Wow.. I would be panicking too. But it seems like it is working out, and your post made perfect sense to me, so best of luck!
I admire you for your courage and letting what happens happen. I can't relate to trans issues, but I've always felt like you all get the worst of all of it and that makes all of you way braver than I'll be.
Well done i just need to tell my friends now n that will be over fb This is encouraging have you had any replies yet?
Thanks everyone So far I've had nothing but good responses. A lot of my friends inbox messaged me with words of encouragement and congratulations with promises that if I ever need someone to talk to that they're always there. God it just feels so good :') Like I knew they'd respond well but it still just hit me like a tonne of bricks, everyone knows now and I can finally be 110% myself around all of my friends
Well done i hope i can get the courage to do the same since IM going to have my hair cut pretty MANly this week n people need to know when i go back to school/ when i go out
To be honest, I'd be panicking as well, that's a lot of text. But the fact that your friends supports you shows that people are ok with it, you've made a very bold move, you're bound to be scared, but at least now everyone knows it's a huge weight of your shoulder.
