    So i am going to make a post on facebook to come out and i would like some opinions on the post before i post it:

    "Hey everyone it would seem that rumours have gotten around that i am transgender and i wish to confirm these rumours and as you can see i have changed my facebook name to Maddison-Lilith, as such i would prefer to be called Maddison, Maddie, Lilith or Lili and for everyone to use female pronouns (she/her/hers) when refering to me, thank you for your time."

    Looks good to me I would say, straight and simple to the point.

    I think it looks really good! I really must applaud you as well. I don't have the courage to come out to my dad at this point, never mind to everyone I know!

    Something optional to add, though I'm not even sure you'd want to, is an extra like "read more if you care" section (probably not calling it that, but I'm sure you get the idea lol) where you can explain a little more in depth what you've been through and how important this is to you. That way the people closer to you who would actually care could get the whole rundown, while everyone else would get the basics.

    Either way it looks very good as is and I wish you the best of luck :slight_smile:
