Hey guys, this is my first proper post here, so I thought I'd use it to ask you all something that's been bothering me a bit of late.
I'm wondering whether or not I should come out to my friends, as I do dress kinda boyish (and have recently had my hair cut short), and I think they might be wondering why. I have told one or two very close friends and they were very accepting (even if one of them didn't really understand). I have no SO, though all my exes knew about it.
Thing is, I have no plans to transition, as I don't see myself as male all the time; it's more of an androgyny thing for me. My male side is always there, but I don't always feel the need to express it. There are days though, when I do need to express it, and thanks to sod's law these are usually the days when I have something social planned and can't just hide in my room all day! I think my friends may be wondering about my disappearing-reappearing breasts (amongst other things!), do you think I should sit them down and explain?
I guess this question is aimed primarily at other FTM CDs, but any and all help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
