    Hey everyone :slight_smile: So I think I've just about finished my coming out letter that I'm going to send to my female best friend sometime soon.

    And I was just wondering what your thoughts on it were/ if you see any typos.

    Thanks :slight_smile:

    It looks great, but what do you mean you came out to her three times already? As pan?

    Also, is the "boat and paddle thingy" rowing?

    Thanks everyone :slight_smile:

    and @ Tai, last February I came out as asexual, then attracted to women in the fall, and now trans...

    And the rowing thing I can't remember, but it was where you stand in a boat and paddle standing up, it wasn't paddle board either, but I'm not too concerned about the logistics of its name :slight_smile: ...

    Well the good news is that if this is the 3rd time you've come out you can be at least fairly certain that this is a friend who's been willing to hear you out about deep and personal things in the past and has a nice track record.

    EDIT: Oh, I also came out as asexual to a close friend a few years before I told him I was transgender. And I had to backpedal on the asexual comment I made and confess that I definitely have a sex drive, but the thought of having sex as a guy made me too squicked out to go for it.

    Thanks again everyone :slight_smile:

    I sent her the letter earlier this evening, and almost immediately she responded. :slight_smile: She couldn't read it at the moment as she was in class, but told me she'd get back to me soon.

    I'll be sure to keep you guys updated!

    Yeah :slight_smile: I woke up the next day (so yesterday) to a response from her, super supportive and were planning on skyping some time next week after a project of her class is turned in :slight_smile:
