Told my best friend today...

[aggi123]

Since we have been discussing renting an apartment together as roommates, i felt it best he should know about my unusual hobby ahead of time. He took is really well (expected this) and even said he doesn't care if I sit around dressed en femme. So score one for the home team! I'm starting to think I should tell some of my other closest friends.

and even said he doesn't care if I sit around dressed en femme.

Be very careful with that. My roommate said the same thing, but later admitted that he wasn't really ready for it. So he's your best friend, so believe him, but be sure you continue to let him know that he can let you know at any time if he's uncomfortable and you (hopefully) won't be offended.

That is so great Aggi! You have a very cool and accepting friend. THIS is why we call them our best friend! :D Hope your move and everything goes well ;)

If he really is a best friend maybe it will work out. You might not want to overwhelm him all at once though. Best of luck.

My closest friends know about Kara but most of them are female and seem fine with it. On the other hand, My closest male friend I havnt told mainly because he can be a bit erratic at times and I dont know how he would react :(

Lots of Love,
Miss Kara

Oh i've thought about that. I really had no intentions of sitting around dressed when he's there. Thanks for the warm thoughts everybody!

As often said on this site. "be up front and honest". In more than a few cases, its a proven fact honesty IS the best policy.

I have not had a roommate in years but if I did They would know about Christina before they moved in cuz I don't hide her other then my job since I now have a new job. Good for you hun keep it up and you will feel "free at last free at last thank GOD almighty we're free at last." Not just for african Americains anymore.

That's awesome news, congrats! You obviously know your friends better than we do but you may want to hold off on telling others for now. If they're anything like my group of friends your news will reach people you don't even know :lol:

:heehee: I also told my best friend (and this is where my story is different) but they are a ftm crossdresser so it kind of worked out for me... They have been planing to go in and have ftm surgery and have been trying to get me comfortable with the Idea of going and having mtf the sameday. (kind of a group comfort thing):hugs:

That's great Aggi. I hope the friendship stays cool

My closest friends already know about Michelle, and they seem to be very comfortable about it. I have shown pictures of me to some, and they are happy that I am happy.

You do have to be careful because some people are really not that caring and this can cause some anguish. But, if they do care about you then generally it all seems to work out.
