    So I'm really active on social medusa specially on Twitter and I have a fab account and I have sort of internet friends that I talk too. So to help me figure out my gender or to know if I'm cmfortable or whatever can I tell people to call me by "he" and not "she"? Cause I don't want to ask my friends or family to do that I'm not out yet I'm just discovering but maybe 80% I wanna be a guy (trans guy). The reason that I don't wanna ask my friends in real life or whatever it's because I don't want to tell them about this situation I'm not ready and I just need time to figure out so I tought maybe on the internet it will help to just say to call me by "he". By the way I'm not trying or I'm not doing a fake identity on the Internet. I just wanna know if I feel comfortable called by "he" or whatever if you know what I mean cause I know this can help people on here told me to start by this...

    Can you tell me if it's a good idea?

    That is a great idea. Online friends are a really great and low pressure way to test out new pronouns without having to come out to anyone you know in real life. One of the first things I did when I wanted to try being seen as a guy was to make accounts online where I presented myself as male to see how it felt. There wasn't anything wrong with doing that because I wasn't doing it to deceive people; I was doing it to find out if it felt more comfortable and right, and it did.
