    Hello!
    I'm Eli.
    I'm a transgender male. I am not out to many people, but so far I've gotten a lot of support from them. I'm really lucky to have the friends that I have.
    I'm kind of scared to come out to my family. My mother is a minister and my father has a form of autism. I don't really know how they will react.
    Wish me luck!

    Hi Eli and welcome to EC :slight_smile:
    I hope you'll find here all the support you need. That's great that the people you already came out to are supportive. Congratulations !
    As for your family, coming out is something you have to do when you feel ready for it, so don't pressure yourself.
    See you around and take care, Eleanor
