    OKAY!!!
    So... If any of you have read any of my past posts, you will know my situation and what's been going on.... Well!!! After much confliction between me, myself and I, along side denial... Everything is clear... I know who I am and it's so clear and I have no idea why it's taken so long.. Well... I do but that's a long story...
    My name is Kai, and I identify as male :slight_smile:
    Only 2 of my closest friends and my girlfriend know, so I'm not out to family.. I'm absolutely dreading doing that so any tips would be good!!
    But yeah.. I'm so happy I've finally found myself!

    I wish you all well!
    Peace, love and turtle doves x(*hug*)

    Some people come out in letters. Coming out in a crowded place so they won't make a scene is also a classic.

    Also, I'm glad you've started to figure yourself out. Good luck!

    You are not on your own with the long story here... It took 20 years in my case.

    A few resources you might find useful
    http://www.imatyfa.org/resources/parents/
    https://community.pflag.org/transgender
    http://www.pflagbrisbane.org.au/wp-content/uploads/transchild_informationbooklet.pdf

    Take your time to read, explore (everything about your true gender, it's quite fun) and enjoy yourself, and don't be shy to ask here if you have questions. Any kind of questions (you could also use the anonymous section), or hit my wall if you need anything.

    It's going to be quite an exciting ride, and at times it can feel overwhelming, but be patient and don't rush anything. We'll be here if you need anything, or just want to chat.

    Congratulations by the way, kid, make the best of it! (*hug*)

    Yeah, PFLAG is super helpful. There's a few Youtubers who made videos giving advice on coming out and talking to family and friends.
