    I don't know if this is the right forum but anyway...

    I just told my friend of 13 years that i'm transgender...that's right, I did it.

    Now for the iffy part.

    I tried originally to do it over the phone, and...well...it ended in disaster, I never got it out, I brokedown and told her not to worry about it and the conversation ended there. Afterwards she started txting me, asking me if I was alright. I knew she would just worry about me for days after so I just ended up telling me through txt.

    Well she replied positively, saying im still the same person (in a way :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:) and that she'd love me no matter wat. I wasnt expecting this kind of reaction...im so happy I've been in tears for hours :').

    That's so sweet that she was supportive, I'm glad that you have someone who you can confide in now.

    That's awesome to hear! I had a similar reaction happen when I came out to my first friend. It felt like a weight was gone, but I felt sooooo drained afterwards! Great job! :grin:

    I'm so proud of you. I imediately burst into tears after I told my friend I was gay, because it suddenly just hit me that it was real and I couldn't change it now.
    It gets so much easier after the first person!! Keep going!
