[nicky]

i really want to come out to my family and i think its kinda obvious that i cd because ive accidentaly outed my self quite a few times to my mother but never my father. my sister kinda knows but not really the only problem is my mother has a huge mouth and likes to tell people everything especially when shes mad. and im pretty shure my aunt knows but im not shure on that one either. i used to barrow her things all the time and i think she figered it out
i really need help on this im so confused and dont know what to do any advice would be apriciated:sad:

ok do it , Just remember that you need to make sure you tell her to not spread it around. She like My mom might be embarrassed by it all, so she might not want to tell every one. And if she does I have found that the people whom know me are fine with it, just mom and dad are not ok with it. so only you know what's right. good luck HUGGS :hugs: :canada:

You can't put that Genie back in the bottle. As they say you can only keep a secret if only you know it. Once you tell anyone, expect it it get around. Maybe fast, maybe slow. I have told people and never expected silence. In some cases they didn't say anything. In other cases spouses and family members soon knew about me.

The question should be are you ready for the world to know. Most of us here who have come "out" so to speak are older and have suffered the darkness long enough that we don't care anymore. You reach an age, it varies with each person, when you start to careless about what people think about you. You have established your reputation and maybe become more comfortable with who you are personally and financially. You know who you are. If you come out to anyone, expect that with time everyone will know. If you are ready for that, do it.

You might want to shave that thing on your upper lip first if you want to really look like a girl!

It will always come out sooner or later. Not so bad by the way. Ex did it for me and all family and friends were and are very cool with it. We worry too much about what others think. Take care, love Lyn

Once you are "out" - you are really "out" - no going back - good luck
